Morphology
The meaning 'a place where goods are sold' is directly derivable from combining 'sales' (relating to selling) with 'outlet' (a retail place); this follows a regular attributive noun + noun compounding pattern that B1 learners can apply. The same logic exists in many languages (e.g., Spanish "punto de venta" / French "point de vente"), supporting immediate comprehension.
Etymology
Sales outlet combines sales and outlet; imagine a door where goods 'flow out' from a factory to customers. So a sales outlet is a place where products leave the factory and are sold, which is why it means 'a shop or store'.
