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 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on the massive shifts in retail channels in the second half of the 20th century. We will conclude with a look at the impact of ecommerce and a peak into the future of retail.
