Perhaps we might also consider "small business" as keywords we might
utilize in our search.
Let's begin at About.com's Small Business site and from there we can
focus in on Retail:
http://sbinformation.about.com/smallbusiness/sbinformation/cs/
retail/index.htm
Note: The above URL is actually one continuous line and should be
entered into your browser's address box as one line.
There are two pages of links to sites that will help the newcomer to
small business retailing. Many of those sites offer newsletters.
Back up into the main site and you can pick up all kinds of valuable
information on starting and maintaining a small business:

And lastly and perhaps your best bet here, is to go to the NewJour site
and enter the keyword "retail" into the search box:
http://gort.ucsd.edu/newjour/search.html
I got 37 results. These are generally excellent e-journals and e-
newsletters.
Enter the keywords "small business" and you will get many more results
and I think better results for what you seek.
