Business selling goods to consumers
A business that sells products directly to people who use them, not to other businesses.
Patrón de uso:

Error frecuente:

Another common error is to use *retailer* for the customer, e.g. *The retailer bought a TV*, when the correct word is *customer* or *shopper*.
