    Explanation

    The Japanese noun '小売店 (こうりてん)' refers to a 'retail store', a place where goods are sold directly to consumers. This term is commonly used to describe shops, stores, or outlets that sell products in small quantities to the public. For example: There is a retail store near the station「駅の近くに小売店があります」(えきのちかくにこうりてんがあります). I bought this at a retail store「これを小売店で買いました」(これをこうりてんでかいました). The word is often used in contrast to wholesale businesses, which sell goods in bulk to other businesses rather than directly to consumers.
