Initial Public Offering - It's when a company needs to raise some cash to grow expand open new stores product lines or whatever and they do so by selling ownership interest (known as a share) in the business to the public on an open market like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering. This is when the company decides that it wants to go public and sells its first shares to investors on one of the trading floors (NYSE - NASDAQ ... etc.). Hope this helps.
