I would think people would understand this intuitively. Whenever you go shopping, you're likely out walking in a mall or walking a particularly street. When was the last time you drove down a street to find a store.

Countless times. Also, to familiarize oneself with the location of businesses. I didn't know that business was there. I must go there sometime.
This is not so much about parking in front of the store (although businesses do like that), but visibility to passers-by. You know the old saying, 'Out of sight, out of mind'.
