Hi Hani,

I'm not sure why you don't like the word 'wrong' here. She wants to go shopping in town rather than locally and Mike wants to know why she doesn't shop locally because he believes the local shops are perfectly all right. That's why he asks: What's wrong (what don't you like about) the shops here (locally)?

A
