Retail shops, which over the centuries have transformed from small booths to present day sophisticated, expansive shopping malls, occur in a diverse range of types and in many different contexts – from strip shopping centers in residential streets through to large, indoor shopping malls. Shopping streets may restrict traffic to pedestrians only. Additionally, forms of non-shop retailing can include online retailing that is rapidly changing the shopping landscape.
 
The dot-com boom launched at the end of the 1990s ushered in a new era of retailing in which retailers are embracing disruption, reimplementing physical stores as places for brand experiences and exploring new ways to connect with consumers through social media and increasingly with Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) experiences. You can find below some of the more popular retail stores, corporate retail contact information, weekly sales bulletin, and where shopping coupons may be obtained.
 
Links to valuable coupons and promo codes are included in the profiles although a great many coupons are now administered by mobile apps of the respective retail stores as well as third-party coupon sites such as Groupon, RetailMeNot.com, redplum.com, dealnews.com, and couponsforprint.com to name a few.
