People have been trading goods and services for thousands of years.  Beginning with the Roman Forum, one of the first public markets, the concept of a dedicated retail market-place was born.  We will examine the growth and expansion of retail in America through the 19^th and 20^th centuries, focusing on the massive shifts in retail channels in the second half of the 20^th century.  We will conclude with a look at the impact of ecommerce and a peak into the future of retail.
