"local" as having something to do with business premise

Question

While SpanDict defines "local" as a place or scene, it seems to me that "local" is often used in the commercial context. So, while "un local" can be simply a place, it more often, or so it seems to me, refers to a place of business. Yes?

Yes. You are correct. See my answer below. - gringojrf, May 11, 2014

Answer 1

Se renta este local.

Yes, it is often used to refer to a commercial space, ie. store space. At least it is in Baja.

Take a look at this link.

Se renta local

Exactly, but "local" is masculine - 005faa61, May 11, 2014

Answer 2

¡Hola!, Ron:
 
I'm having some trouble understanding your question. Span¡shD!ct has quite a lot to say about the word "local" here ----> Link to Translator. You will need to enter the word "local" in the search window when the link opens. There is much more there than simple place or scene.
 
May I request that you look over the definitions at the link and then if you have a more focused question, enter it here so we can look at it.
 
Thanks.
Saludos/Best regards,
Moe
