Retail Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Retail is the sale of goods and services from individuals or businesses to the end-user.  Retailers are part of an integrated system called the supply-chain. A retailer purchases goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers or directly through a wholesaler, and then sells smaller quantities to the consumer for a profit. Retailing can be done in either fixed locations or online. Retailing includes subordinated services, such as delivery. The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as a public utility, like electric power.
