retail outlets OR retail stores


Explanation:
Your own suggested translation is correct, i.e. meaning individual retail stores (perhaps within a chain). The reference in the text to the various shop elements confirms this. "Punto vendita" is the term generally used in marketing contexts, rather than "negozio" (shop) etc.

neutral  Helen Pringle: "Point of sale" is a general term meaning anywhere the goods are sold: internet, store, shop, store-in-store, outlet, market stall, street corner... :-)
1 hr
  -> I agree, which is why I think "retail outlets" / "retail stores" is more relevant, since the context quoted suggests a physical store, excluding other forms (e.g. internet)
