Specialty store

A specialty store is a shop/store that carries a deep assortment of brands, styles, or models within a relatively narrow category of goods. Furniture stores, florists, sporting goods stores, and bookstores are all specialty stores. Stores such as Athlete’s Foot (sports shoes only) are considered superspecialty stores.[1]

Specialty stores compete with other types of retailers such as department stores, big box stores, general stores, supermarkets and variety stores.
