agree  Pablo Villadangos: Técnicamente, "shopping" es la compra en sí, no el establecimiento, pero creo que en español esta es una buena solución

excesiva abundancia de productos de escasa calidad


Explanation:
La vieja ciudad todavía se distingue por la excesiva abundancia de productos de escasa calidad, pero es, sin embargo, un centro...

Me parece entender que <too much> se refiere a la excesiva cantidad y <poor quality> a la mala calidad, con lo cual tenemos dos aspectos negativos que se compensan, no obstante, con el carácter cosmopolita y el ambiente mediterráneo.
