Direct answer
What insurance does a retail store need?
Most retail stores start with a BOP or property package, general liability, and workers comp. Product type, inventory value, lease requirements, online sales, imported goods, cyber exposure, and employees determine what else to add.
- General liability helps with customer injury and third-party property damage claims inside or around the store.
- Property coverage can protect inventory, fixtures, signs, equipment, and tenant improvements when the store qualifies.
- Online sales, customer data, imported products, and higher-risk goods can create cyber or product liability questions.
Coverage that usually comes up
BOP / Property
Common for eligible stores because it can combine liability and property coverage.
General Liability
Helps with customer injury and third-party property damage claims.
Workers Compensation
Important when cashiers, stockers, or store staff are employees.
Cyber or Product Liability
May matter for online sales, customer data, imported products, or higher-risk goods.
