Abstract

The subject of discussion in the article is the evolution of retail formats. It is assumed that the retail format is an aggregated and standardized product of a retail company. It is subject to the volatility characteristic of all social institutions; it goes to next phases of the life cycle, while also changing its structure. Although stores are still dominant in the retail sector formats, their share is dropping in favor of non-store formats. In Poland, a strong downward trend can be observed in the case of non-food formats, i.e. department stores and variety stores, contrary to food-oriented formats. A growing number of these stores is accompanied by changes in the design of these formats. These changes are analyzed in the case of discount stores operating on the Polish market.
