retail outlet
Place selling goods
A retail outlet is a store where goods are sold directly to consumers.
The term often appears in business contexts or refers specifically to outlet stores—locations where manufacturers sell products at reduced prices, typically last season's items or factory seconds: There's a retail outlet mall just off the highway.
The phrase emphasizes the commercial function of the location rather than any particular character.
