A category killer is a type of retailer, usually a big-box store, that specializes in a single product category and carries a wide assortment of related goods. By offering extensive selections, competitive pricing, and leveraging large-scale bargaining power, these stores often gain a comparative advantage over smaller retailers and can significantly reduce competitors’ sales within that category, increasing their market penetration.
