Retail Trade
The retail trade industry allows the public to buy goods from either in-store or non-store retailers. In-store retailers sell everything under their roofs, from groceries to the latest motor homes. Non-store retailers sell their products through vending machines, door-to-door sales, temporary stalls, the Internet and other channels. In 2016, Albertans spent $75.1 billion on retail trade, down from $76.0 billion in 2015.
