Warehouse
The term ‘warehouse’ generally refers to a large building that can be used to store raw materials or manufactured goods prior to distribution or sale.
Retail warehouses are large, single-level stores, typically with a minimum of 1,000 square metres gross retail floorspace, normally selling goods for home improvement or gardening, furniture, electrical goods, carpets and so on. They are most commonly found in the fringe of towns or in out of town locations.
