discount retailers

Cut-price merchants

Discount retailers are stores that sell goods at prices below traditional retail by accepting lower profit margins, buying in bulk, or offering fewer services.

Chains like Walmart, Target, and dollar stores fall into this category.

The term distinguishes these businesses from full-price department stores or specialty shops: Discount retailers have transformed American shopping habits.
