A large number of leisure venue operators offer retail products for sale and the breadth and variety of items on offer has been gradually expanding during the past few years.

Increasingly, this aspect of leisure venues is being viewed as a valuable profit centre in its own right, rather than an obligatory extra which may generate small amounts of income. Consequently, many operators are paying more attention to their retail formats and extending their brands into high street concessions, mail order and, most importantly for the future, the Internet.
