Hi,

But I don't know any stores that only have displays. Why do they have displays if they don't want to sell things?

Is the example I gave correct? T.y.v.m.

They need not make income because they're large corporations who just want to get the word out and it's strictly for advertising but instead of a "business" it's an actual store where you can browse showcases. But usually they keep the items to a bare minimum.
