For an article about Coca-Cola's business in Italy:

retail center


Explanation:
A retail (sales) center is one where the product is sold direct to the public. The company retail center is supported by the

distribution centers whose primary function is to deliver the bottled product to the customer site (convenience stores, grocery stores, gas stations..)Some distribution centers are dual-performers in the sense that they also have an area for retail sales (individuals that pick up the merchandise themselves.)

This article explains distribution vs. retail sales for the giant Wal-Mart
