retail outlets

Where consumers buy

Retail outlets are stores where goods are sold directly to consumers.

The term is business jargon, favored in corporate and real estate contexts over plain *stores* or *shops*: The company operates retail outlets across three states.

An outlet often specifically means a store selling discounted or surplus merchandise: factory outlet, outlet mall.
