Having as a general objective, To understand the current situation of the retail trade network in Delmiro Gouveia-AL by mapping the origin and destination of products offered by the local retail and enabling such content can be thought of as a subsidy for the teaching of geography about notions of networks. The topics covered in this work include the notion of region, globalization, geographic networks and retail trade. Such elements have become the main basis for theoretical and practical understanding. In addition, a practical study on the formation of commerce in the city of Delmiro Gouveia becomes important as it is possible to identify factors that lead us to understand how the formation of retail trade occurs in certain sectors, especially in the food sector. Another way of analyzing this context concerns a critical understanding of the origin of some products marketed in local supermarkets, which in turn come from distant regions, and this moment can be seen as problematic since it is possible to market products from neighboring regions. In this sense, understanding a little about the way in which the commercial system is configured in the respective city, it is important to try to present this study in a pedagogical way at the Francisca Rosa da Costa State School. Thus, according to the study, it was possible to perceive that the retail trade had its origin with the arrival of Delmiro Augusto da Cruz Gouveia, entrepreneur of the municipality. He brought innovations to the city, marketing, according to the study, the sale of leather in the city and exporting to other regions, then we have as important landmarks the Stone Factory and the Angiquinho Plant, both idealized by the entrepreneur already presented. Then the free fair, as an agent that drove the migration of labor to the city of Delmiro Gouveia. Currently, a great variety of products are being commercialized, among which, those that are interested in a more delimited analysis for the work, relate to a study focused on some products comprising a basic basket. It is important to highlight their origins and destinations in the analysis of these products, and in order to reach the result, four local supermarkets were surveyed.
