Abstract
We have coined the term »specialty store» to distinguish a broad group of stores, offering a comparatively narrow range of goods, from department stores, carrying a mixed assortment, and stores, dealing in pronounced convenience goods. This term thus differs from Copeland’s »specialty goods», which he uses to characterize consumer buying behavior. Our use of the word »specialty» broadly coincides with that seen in the trade press and annual reports.
