Concept stores are specially crafted boutiques that combine culture with the business of selling merchandise. You can think of it as being akin to a special exhibition at an art gallery; in this sense, the merchandise being sold falls under a certain concept (go figure), theme, or lifestyle that is geared towards a specifically targeted audience.
