The Journal of Retailing is devoted to advancing the state of knowledge and its application with respect to all aspects of retailing, its management, evolution, and current theory. The field of retailing includes both products and services, the supply chains and distribution channels that serve retailers, the relationships between retailers and members of the supply channel, and all forms of direct marketing and emerging electric markets to households.

The biggest single slice out of the costs of distribution is taken by the retailer. In 1955, the American family will be paying a cover charge of some $90 billion for the privilege of enjoying its standard of living. That is 53 percent of an estimated total of $170 billion in retail sales next year. It represents a most conservative guess at the cost of distributing the goods and services our consuming public wants.
