maloobchodníka

Maloobchodník is the Slovak term for a retailer. A retailer is a business or person that sells goods or services to consumers for their own use. Retailers typically purchase goods in bulk from manufacturers or wholesalers and then sell them in smaller quantities to the end customer. They play a crucial role in the supply chain, bridging the gap between producers and consumers.

Retailers operate in a variety of formats, including physical stores (such as supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, and specialty shops) and online platforms (e-commerce websites). The type of goods sold can range widely, from everyday necessities like food and clothing to specialized items like electronics or luxury goods.

The success of a retailer often depends on factors such as product selection, pricing strategies, customer service, store location or website usability, and marketing efforts. Retailers are responsible for managing inventory, displaying merchandise, processing transactions, and often providing after-sales support. They contribute significantly to the economy by creating jobs, facilitating trade, and meeting consumer demand.
