Retail Trade (NAICS 44, 45)

Description

The retail trade sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in retailing merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. Retailing is the final link in the distribution chain; retailers are therefore organized to sell merchandise in small quantities to the general public.
