comparison retailers/comparison retail Explanation: Search for "urvalshandel" at the first reference link below -- you'll be led to a PDF file. On page 52 of that PDF file, "urvalshandel" is defined as: "Skor, kläder, stort varu-utbud som kan jämförasmellan flera butiker." The retail category "Comparison" is defined at my second reference link below as: "Retail goods and services for which shoppers like to compare styles, brands and prices before making a purchase, like apparel, shoes, automobiles, electronics and (sometimes) furniture. For this reason, comparison retail businesses tend to cluster together (e.g., clothing stores in traditional shopping malls; car dealers in auto malls), and a comparison business is likely to be more successful if located in a cluster than if it is freestanding, without related businesses nearby." Many examples of usage of "comparison retailers" for this meaning can be found on Google at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q="compariso... I would probably rework the sentence to use "comparison retailers" instead of "comparison retail".
