As this database includes all incorporated retailers, it is possible to generate tabulations based on user-defined geographical areas, defined by a collection of six-digit postal codes.
Users should be aware that the data are for incorporated businesses only. Also, the chain location file contains businesses with four or more locations. Businesses with three or fewer locations will be deemed to be a single store, located at the address indicated on its corporate tax (T2) form.
This on-line publication presents total retail sales by type of business, by province/territory, by selected Canadian metropolitan areas, by number of stores operated and by annual sales volume. Also provided are statistics on stocks on hand at year end, cost of goods sold and gross margins; distributions covering sales volume, physical size, sales per square foot (metre), department store commodity groupings and major and discount type department stores; and a list of chain and department stores. It includes definitions, methodology, data quality, survey questionnaire and a bibliography.
This paper has two goals. The first is to inform retail store data users, industry analysts, trade associations and other stakeholders about these changes. The second is to consult with stakeholders on possible data outputs resulting from the changes.
The paper is organized into five parts. Following the introduction, Part II describes the outputs from the current surveys and compares and contrasts the current outputs with the new. Part III focuses on the introduction of NAICS codes and the changes in coverage for retail trade. In Part IV, the benefits resulting from the above changes are outlined. The final part (Part V) seeks comments or suggestions from data users, retail trade associations and industry specialists on the release of data products as a result of the changes to the surveys.
