How to Approach This?

I have an upcoming interview with a boutique consulting firm next week. They told me today that I have to conduct some primary research about a large retailer.
How would you approach this? Most of the questions they want me to answer are pretty detailed; (like, how much of product X is sold per year in all branches of the retailer)
