Abstract: Abstract Location decisions are of critical importance to all firms. Opening, closing, and relocating facilities require careful planning due to the strategic nature of these decisions. When customers do not have physical contact with the facilities (such as plants, distribution centers, or call centers), demand for the products or services can be assumed to be relatively independent of location. However, location choices of some stores (such as coffee shops, supermarkets, bank branches, and restaurants) do have a direct impact on demand. Therefore, such decisions should not be made without consideration of consumer behavior and market conditions.
