BRICKS AND MORTAR BUSINESS

This article is about the eCommerce concept. For brick and mortar construction see brickwork

In the jargon of eCommerce, bricks and mortar businesses are companies that have a physical presence (for example, a building made of bricks and mortar) and offer face-to-face consumer experiences, as opposed to an Internet-only presence (see online shop for comparison). Most bricks and mortar companies have been in their specific field or service since before the dot-com boom of the 1990s.

A comparable term in the United Kingdom is High Street shops.
