retail shops
Places selling goods
Retail shops are stores that sell goods directly to consumers for personal use, as opposed to wholesale operations that sell in bulk to other businesses.
The term is slightly redundant—shops are retail by definition—but appears in contexts distinguishing storefronts from online sellers or service businesses: The neighborhood has a mix of retail shops and restaurants.
