retailers

Retailers are businesses that sell goods directly to consumers, operating both physical stores and online platforms to facilitate the purchase of a wide variety of products.

Why it’s in the news: Retailers are in the news due to significant operational shifts, including the end of a peak shipping season, regulatory pushback on payment policies, and the integration of new technologies like AI agents.
