Retail, Shrunk to Fit A micro market is a small unattended store: open shelves, a cooler, and a self-checkout kiosk, usually inside a workplace or apartment building. Learn how they work and what it takes to operate one.

Products sit on open shelves and coolers instead of behind glass, so operators can sell fresh food and larger items, with a kiosk handling payment.

Closed environments with steady foot traffic: offices with 100+ employees, warehouses with shifts, hospitals, and larger apartment buildings.

Operators report low single-digit shrinkage in well-chosen locations, managed with cameras, account payments, and site selection.
