Topic overview

Retail is the sale of goods and services from individuals or businesses to the end-user. Retailers are part of an integrated system called the supply chain. A retailer purchases goods or products in large quantities from manufacturers directly or through a wholesale, and then sells smaller quantities to the consumer for a profit. Retailing can be done in either fixed locations like stores or markets, door-to-door or by delivery. Retailing includes subordinated services, such as delivery. The term "retailer" is also applied where a service provider services the needs of a large number of individuals, such as for the public.

Project goals

[edit]

This project aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of retail-related topics.

  • Improve articles about retailing companies and chains and make them consistent, using existing style guides such as Wikipedia:Companies, corporations and economic information as guidelines, and devising new ones when needed. For entries on retail companies, this project will create a content structure guide since none exists currently.
  • Bring mature articles that are within this project's scope to Good article and featured article status. For example, although the entries on Target Corporation and Wal-Mart are currently not featured articles, it is indeed this project's goal to improve them with the ultimate intention to bring them there.
  • Define store types consistently. By this, readers should be able to discriminate between a discount store from a department store, since this may be ambiguous in some articles.

Scope Project scope

The scope of this project covers articles of retailing companies (e.g. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.), chains (existing and defunct), topics (e.g. department store, hypermarket, etc.), and people (e.g. John Geisse). Please see the article list below for articles that are within our scope.
