The Retail Startup is a Web site operated by the popular Retail Owners Institute (an organization we have referenced several times before — see, for example, 1, 2, 3):

“The Retail Owners Institute has developed this site as a kind of online ‘clearinghouse’ for those looking to grow a retail business. From this unique Web site, you can find access to carefully-selected, retail specific resources for all expanding retailers,whether online, catalog, storefront, or multichannel. Information on demand, 24/7, whenever you have questions about your startup or expanding retail business.”

These are the major information categories at the Retail Startup:

• Your “First Store”

• Growth and Expansion

• Retail Rollouts

• Resources for Retailers

• 53 Retail Segments (Key Retail Benchmarks)
