As people began to settle down they needed many things close to them. Normally a person had to travel a lot to get their daily needs e.g. a farmer needed tools to do his farm work, a doctor required medical supplies as well as his household and personal requirements. So some business activities started to provide different things like farming implements (ploughs etc) for farmers, stationery for students, medical supplies for doctors, household requirements for all. This was the real start of the retail business. Later these small retail businesses evolved to become big retail businesses, for example Nakumatt. The business also provided other services.
