The short 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.
Common starting points
Coverage that may fit retail stores
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.
