Daly City and neighboring Colma have emerged as shopping meccas for San Francisco residents. A combination of plentiful free parking space (compared to the constrained and expensive parking options in San Francisco) and San Mateo County's historically slightly lower state sales tax rate<ref>[http://www.boe.ca.gov/cgi-bin/rates.cgi?LETTER=S&LIST=COUNTY California City and County Sales and Use Tax Rates – Cities, Counties and Tax Rates – California State Board of Equalization] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060618083025/http://www.boe.ca.gov/cgi-bin/rates.cgi?LETTER=S&LIST=COUNTY |date=June 18, 2006 }}. Boe.ca.gov (June 17, 2013). Retrieved on July 21, 2013.</ref> have contributed to this trend. Many [[Big-box store|big box]] retailers that are unable to operate in San Francisco due to real-estate prices, space restrictions, or political or community opposition have opened stores in the Serramonte and Westlake neighborhoods. Daly City's shopping centers are [[Serramonte Center]] and [[Westlake Shopping Center]].
