A retail sale occurs when a business sells a product or service to final consumers for their own personal or household use. Retailing is a labour intensive business.
Retailing makes products and services available on a relatively large scale and supplying them to customers on a relatively small scale. The word "Retail" originates from a French-Italian word ‘Retailer’ meaning someone who cuts off or sheds a small piece from something.
