CraigsList Makes Top-50 Retailer List

The cover story for the STORES.org Favorite 50 online retailers list sees an odd newcomer to the ranks of perennial favorites. We're used to seeing Wal-Mart, eBay and Best Buy at the top of the list but the big surprise is Craigslist debut at No. 25.

Is Craigslist a Retailer?

Interestingly enough, Craigslist's characterization as a retailer is a topic of contention among many retail gurus. The site isn't actually a point of purchase website as we would require of a true online retailer.

Regardless, the STORES list of Favorite 50 online retailers is based upon a a survey of 8,600 customers in June, 2009. The customer is always right!
