Retailing and retail outlets in Britain

Retailing is the business of selling products to the general public. Most retailers sell from small shops or stores which are called outlets. Many countries have large retail chains (multiples) which are organized nationally and sell a standardized selection of products. Their outlets are often in shopping centres (malls), where there is a large variety of stores in the same location.

Many large retailers operate from out of town locations with parking facilities, known as either hypermarkets (over 30.000 square meters) or superstores/supermarkets (under 30.000 square meters).

Department stores such as Harrods in London are large shops which sell a wide variety of products, usually from a city centre location. As the name suggests, they are organized in departments, each with its own manager.

There are four main types of retail outlet:

1) the small shop;

2) the supermarket;

3) the multiple (or the chain store);

4) the department store.

There are also at least six other ways in which goods are passed on to the consumer:
