Key Retail Benchmarks, 55 Retail/Restaurant Segments

FREE Retail BENCHMARKS
There are no "general retailers".
Instead, there are booksellers, grocers, menswear retailers, lumber dealers, online retailers, gift stores, and on and on. 

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) identifies over 50 separate retail segments, each of which sells its own type of merchandise, e.g., bookstores, hardware stores, supermarkets, shoe stores, jewelry stores, tire dealers, womens apparel, sporting goods, etc. 

​
And, each of these retail segments has its own financial performance benchmarks: profit margins, inventory turnover, etc.

For more information about the Key Ratio Benchmarks for each retail segment, go to The Retail Owners Institute® website. In the BENCHMARKS section, you will find 5 year trend charts of Performance Benchmarks for 6 Key Ratios, plus much more free information.
