Some retail stores are sole proprietorships with one outlet, especially in the regions outside Tbilisi, but there are a growing number of market chains such as SPAR, Carrefour, Goodwill, Loli, 2Steps, Fresco, Smart, Agrohub and Nikora.  Retail chain shops sell Western brands of cosmetics, household goods, clothing, and electronics.
