Retail
Italian term or phrase: punto vendita
nello specifico è un punto vendita di carne, prodotti agricoli, salse e molto altro...
volevo sapere se si può tradurre in un modo diverso da shop e store (nel mio testo li ho già usati entrambi più di una volta).
grazie mille!!

outlet


Explanation:
I know this will cause confusion because in Italy the word "outlet" has been adopted to mean something entirely different - but "punto vendita" is what it means in English !
