Japanese term or phrase: 集客型店舗

This type of store is being contrasted with a company's traditional business styles of door-to-door sales and mail-order sales. Basically they've opened up stores where people can come in to buy their products and services. What should I call this? "Walk-in stores"?? "Brick-and-mortar stores"??

retail store

Explanation:
The basic definition of a 'retail store' is a place to which customers come to purchase goods or services.

Since the point of the source term in the context given seems to be to indicate that customers come to the store rather than vice versa, I would suggest that 'retail store' should be adequate, rather than trying to find a literal or more descriptive translation.

Thanks to all. I almost went with simply "physical stores" but after checking everyone's suggestions, etc. I changed it to "retail stores."

9 hrs confidence:

walk-in stores

Explanation:
- I think your comments above actually make "walk-in stores" the right contrast and to the traditional business styles of door-to-door sales and mail-order sales.

- You also mention that they are stores where "basically they've opened up stores where people can come in to buy their products and services." So, they are stores where people can "walk in" to buy their products and services.

Walk-in stores, by definition, are those physical, brick-and-mortar retail stores that customers go into to buy goods. You have to actually go into the store to purchase. There's no salesman who comes to your home/office to sell you his goods, nor do the goods come to your home/office via mail order.

Here's a Consumer Reports website using the term:

Consumer Reports magazine: December 2010
Weigh Web and walk-in stores
According to our Annual Electronics Buying Survey, electronics items are now as likely to be bought online as in walk-in stores. Websites dominated the high-scoring retailers in our Ratings of places to buy major electronics and computers (both are available to subscribers). Many of the online retailers were standouts for both price and selection.
But the main advantage of many of the higher-rated walk-in stores—fine customer service—may be more important than ever this holiday season.

Here’s another website using "walk-in stores" (This one's on Dr. Jay’s)
http://www.drjays.com/content/customerservice/about_us.html
WALK-IN STORES
Serving the fashion-savvy consumers of the New York Metro area for 25 years has been very rewarding, and our appeal to the many out-of-state and international shoppers that visit our stores each day makes us equally proud. The next time you are in New York, we invite you to visit one of our stores to experience in-person the legendary Dr. Jay's selection and service.

Reference: retail store

Reference information:
I've found some references that I believe point to "retail store". Also, by the OP's context, I'd have to go with retail store. Please do a word find on these links.

BTW, do we get Kudoz points our references at all if it leads to the answer? Or is it you have to have the right answer and be first? Sorry still new to kudoz.

Example sentence(s):

同社初の集客型店舗「キタロクカフェ」にて。"... company's first retail store".
