One major difference between store and non-store retailing is location. To do store retailing, it has to have a physical location, or a "brick and mortar" presence that a customer can physically go to. In non store retailing, there is no physical location for customers to pick up their good, and instead, they get them through automatic vending machines, television, video, Internet, direct selling, and direct marketing.
