Basics
- A Term for a rather recent form of commerce
- It essentially merges a Warehouse and a Point of Sale
- Thus the need for warehouses can be reduced, increasing profits, and the consumer can "get everything at one store"

- This has gathered criticism as a failure of Urban Planning (See Complete Streets and New Urbanism )
