Business and Industry Market Analysis

Industry Sector: Retail

History of the industry: Over the last century, convenience stores have provided a thriving service to
local neighbourhoods. Typically, corner stores are defined as neighbourhood retail shops that specialise
in a limited selection of merchandise, such as milk, bread and other household necessities. Convenience
stores are largely a cash-based business conveniently located for quick in and out shopping, and can be
operated by one clerk. The consumer usually requires the services and products that the corner store
offers on a daily, weekly or bi-weekly basis. Corner stores provide quick checkout times, extended hours
of business and convenient locations.
