retail stores
Places selling goods
Retail stores are businesses that sell goods directly to consumers rather than to other businesses.
The term distinguishes brick-and-mortar establishments from wholesale operations or online sellers: Retail stores struggled during the pandemic as shoppers moved online.
The phrase often appears in discussions of commercial real estate, zoning, and economic trends.
