Abstract

Retailing takes may different forms. Types of retail stores include department stores, which typically stock a broad range of goods; variety stores, such as Woolworth, which stock a wide range of relatively cheap products; and specialist shops which cover a particular range of products, such as electrical goods, groceries or clothing. Other types have been distinguished, such as discount stores and convenience stores. Most stores, even large ones, concentrate on a comparatively narrow range of specialities. Marks & Spencer is an example, concentrating as it does on clothing and food, plus home furnishings.
