A department store is a retail establishment which specializes in selling a wide range of products without a single predominant merchandise line. Department stores usually sell products including apparel, furniture, appliances, electronics, and additionally select other lines of products such as paint, hardware, toiletries, cosmetics, photographic equipment, jewellery, toys, and sporting goods.

A discount store is a type of department store, which sell products at prices lower than those asked by traditional retail outlets. Most discount department stores offer wide assortments of goods; others specialize in such merchandise as jewelry, electronic equipment, or electrical appliances.

 A supermarket is a departmentalized selfservice store offering a wide variety of food and household merchandise. It is larger in size and has a wider selection than a traditional grocery store andhas packaged goods as well as for various nonfood items such as household cleaners, pharmacy products, and pet supplies. The supermarket basic appeal is the availability of a broad selection of goods under a single roof at relatively low prices. Other advantages include ease of parking and, frequently, the convenience of shopping hours that extend far into the evening. Supermarkets are often part of a chain that owns or controls (sometimes by franchise)

 Supermarkets usually offer products at low prices by reducing margins. To maintain a profit, supermarkets attempt to make up for the low margins with a high overall volume of sales. Customers usually shop by putting their products into shopping carts (trolleys) or baskets (self-service) and pay for the products at the check-out. A larger full-service supermarket combined with a department store is sometimes known as a hypermarket. Other services that supermarkets may have include cafs, creches,video rental, pharmacies.
