Abstract:

Let's start with very basic, first, we will try to understand the terms Retail, Retailing, and Retail Management. The word ‘Retail’ is derived from the French word ‘Retailer’, which means to break bulk. Retailing is the sale of goods and Services to the Ultimate consumers for personal Use. A retailer is a person, agent, agency, company, or organization that is instrumental in reaching the goods, merchandise, or services to the ultimate consumers. Retail management includes all the steps required to bring the customers into the store and fulfil their buying needs.
This paper is prepared based on the classroom assignment on ‘Studying Success Story of Retail Outlets in Vadodara City’.
