TYPES OF RETAIL STORES

Discount stores offer a wide range of products, although they mainly offer value goods, such as house wares, clothes, kitchen-wares, gifts and healthcare products. These are sold at reduced prices, because many of them are either  brand name or  clearance products. A discount store is a type of department store, which sell products at prices lower than those asked by department stores and other traditional retail outlets. Most discount department stores offer a wide assortment of goods; others specialize in such merchandise as jewelry, electronic equipment, or electrical appliances. Discount stores are not variety stores, which sell goods at a single price-point or multiples thereof (£1, $2, etc.). Discount stores differ from variety stores in that they sell many name-brand products, and because of the wide price range of the items offered. Discount stores are more popular in the United States than other countries. Following World War II, a number of retail establishments in the U.S. began to pursue a high-volume, low-profit-margin strategy designed to attract price-conscious consumers.

Specialty stores are small stores which specialize in a specific range of merchandise and related items. Most stores have an extensive width and depth of stock in the item that they specify in and provide high levels of service and expertise. The pricing policy is generally in the medium to high range, depending on factors like the type and exclusivity of merchandise and ownership, that is, whether they are owner operated or a chain operation which has the advantage of bulk purchasing and centralized warehousing system. They differ from department stores and supermarkets which carry a wide range of merchandise.

A specialty store is a store that offers specific and specialized types of items. These stores focus on selling a particular brand, or a particular type of item. For example, a store that exclusively sells cell phones or video games would be considered specialized.

The definition for specialty store is actually somewhat loose. Sometimes it includes chain retail stores that sell a specific brand of clothing. This would make retail outlets like Gap, Old Navy, Eddie Bauer, and Victoria’s Secret specialty stores, because all the clothing sold there is manufactured specifically for that store. If you buy something from the Gap, it will have a Gap label.

Off-price retailers offer a different approach to discount retailing. As discount houses tried to increase services and offerings in order to upgrade, off-price retailers invaded this low-price, high-volume sector. Off-price retailers purchase at below-wholesale prices and charge less  than retail prices. This practice is quite different from that of ordinary discounters, who buy at the market.
