(a) Sheena displays her goods on bus-stands or pavements - Street traders: Retailers who are commonly found at places where huge floating population gathers, for example, near railway stations and bus stands, and sell consumer items of common use, such as stationery items, eatables, readymade garments, newspapers and magazines.
(b) Rebantasells goods from one street to another, from one locality to another - Peddlers and hawkers: They are small producers or petty traders who carry the products on a bicycle, a hand cart, a cycle-rickshaw or on their heads, and move from place to place to sell their merchandise at the doorstep of the customers. They generally deal in non-standardised and low-value products.
(c) Atul sells only school uniforms - Speciality shops: Instead of selling a variety of products of different types, these retail stores specialise in the sale of a specific line of product.
