Retail Location template
Last updated: 5 Jul 2026
Official optional Retail & stores pack—branch inventory for multi-store operators.
What this template is
The Retail Location template stores store or branch metadata—store number, address, suite, and manager contact—for multi-location retail and franchise operations, with duplicate hints when store numbers match.
| Category slug | retail-location |
| Pack | Official optional — nt2-template-retail-location |
| Tier | Free |
When to use it (and when not to)
Good fits
- Franchise or chain store directory with store numbers
- Branch manager contact for ops handoffs
- Linking merchant accounts and invoices to the correct location mentally
Use something else instead
| Situation | Better template |
|---|---|
| Mall lease terms and rent | Commercial Lease |
| POS merchant MID and portal | Merchant Account |
| Residential deed or mortgage | Property |
| Router or POS license keys | Network Device or Software License |
Everyday workflows
Open a new branch
- Enable Retail Location under Enable category template packs → Retail & stores.
- Create one item per branch; use Store number as the primary identifier.
- Pair with Merchant Account and Commercial Lease items for the same site.
Ops handoff
- Share manager name and phone via selective disclosure—no secrets required for location metadata.
- Use Vault tags to group locations by region.

Steps
Enable the pack
- Unlock your vault and open Settings → General → Category templates (
https://se.nt2.me/settings/general/templates). - Under Retail & stores, toggle Retail Location On.
Create a location item
- Open
https://se.nt2.me/assetsand select Add asset → Retail location. - Enter a title and fill store number and address.
- Add manager name, phone, and email if known.
- Save. NT² may show a duplicate hint when store numbers match an existing item.
Update or remove
- Edit when a branch relocates or changes manager.
- Archive closed locations; keep historical Invoice / Receipt items separately.
Tips and common mistakes
- One item per branch—reuse store numbers only when they truly identify the same site.
- Lease vs location—rent and landlord belong in Commercial Lease, not here.
- Not an inventory system—NT² stores reference data only; it does not track SKUs or POS sales.
