Retail & E-commerce

Most of these headings sort shops by what they sell: Fashion & Apparel, Electronics Retail, Home & Garden Shops, Health Food & Organic, Convenience Stores & Newsagents and Charity Shops & Vintage. Two sort them by how — Online Retail for pure-play sites with no shopfront, Specialty Retail for small independents working a narrow niche.

Wholesale Retail means trade counters and cash-and-carries that anyone can walk into. Firms supplying the trade only, by the pallet, are under Wholesale & Distribution. Charity Shops & Vintage lists the shops, not the causes behind them, which are under Non-Profit & Community, and the platforms those online shops are built on sit under Software & Technology.
