What is retail?

Retail is when people sell things to other people so they can use or enjoy them.

Imagine you're at a store, like the one where your mom buys bread and milk every morning. That store is part of retail, it's where goods go from the place they’re made to the people who want to buy them.

In retail, there are sellers and buyers. The sellers are like the shopkeeper at your favorite candy store, they have all the treats ready for you. You, as a buyer, pick out your favorite chocolate bar and give them some money in return.

Think of retail like a relay race. A factory makes the toys, then a truck carries them to the store, where you find them on the shelves. When you buy that toy, it’s like passing the baton, the toy goes from the store to your hands, and now it's yours to play with.

Retail is just people selling things so others can enjoy them, no magic needed!
