What is a depot in business context?

[King Belieal]

Someone I was talking it told me he is operating a depot business. I have been hearing the word "depot" but has not particularly paid attention to it. What does running a depot business typically involve? What does it take to run a depot?

 

[Min George]

A depot is a storage point of products that inventory are held for a short time and are distributed quickly.

Depot refers to a facility used for storing and distributing goods, equipment, or materials, often temporarily, before they are further processed or transported
