Annual Retail Store Data, 2000 [Canada] [Excel]

The annual Retail store data CD-ROM is an easy-to-use tool for quickly discovering retail trade patterns and trends. The current product presents results from the 1999 and 2000 Annual Retail Store and Annual Retail Chain surveys. This product contains numerous cross-classified data tables using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The data tables provide access to a wide range of financial variables, such as revenues, expenses, inventory, sales per square footage (chain stores only) and the number of stores. Most data tables contain detailed information on industry (as low as 5-digit NAICS codes), geography (Canada, provinces and territories) and store type (chains, independents, franchises). The electronic product also contains survey metadata, questionnaires, information on industry codes and definitions, and the list of retail chain store respondents.
