brick and mortar store

"the brick and mortar stores contributed just over 70% of the company's total revenue".

How can I say brick and mortar stores in Spanish?

tiendas de ladrillo?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry mannie, I can´t understand you. You have to put more text.
"brick and mortar stores" usually it's not "Tienda de material de construcción" or "tienda de ladrillo y mortero" (literal translation) but to mean there're solid (and not virtual, like google) so the best translation must be "tienda tradicional" ó "tienda física"
So
"the brick and mortar stores contributed just over 70% of the company's total revenue"
must be
"las tiendas tradicionales contribuyeron justo por encima del 70 % de los ingresos totales de la compañía"
or
"las tiendas tradicionales contribuyeron con el 70 % de los ingresos totales de la compañía"

Yes, you're right. Sorry for not putting more context. "brick and mortar stores" refers to a physical store as opposed to an online store.

Thanks for the translation, I'll go with tienda tradicional!

Saludos
