Số nhiều: retailers

This term describes the final link in the supply chain, acting as the bridge between wholesalers or manufacturers and the end consumer. It carries a commercial connotation of accessibility and convenience, focusing on the point of sale where a product becomes a possession. While a shop is a physical location, a retailer refers to the business entity itself. The word encompasses everything from massive global corporations and e-commerce giants to a single street-side kiosk, emphasizing the act of selling in small batches.

Countable when referring to individual businesses or companies that sell products to consumers.
