"Retail is the sale of goods and services to the end-users to make the profit.”
Retail can take place in-store & online as well. In another way, we can say that retail is the final stage of the distribution where fewer quantities of goods (&services) are sold directly to end-users for their own use. The term less quantity & directly to end-user makes the difference between retail &wholesale.
In Retail, one more is very important & that is "Retailer" which starts the process of retail, so "What is Retailer" a retailer can be a person or business from which end users can buy the products. They are not the manufacture of the product however retailers buy the products from wholesalers, manufacturers& distributors & start selling to end-users. Retailers always sell the products in small quantities.
