TEMPORAL INFLUENCES UPON SPATIAL SHOPPING BEHAVIOR OF CONSUMERS

Charles A. Ingene

Papers in Regional Science, 1984, vol. 54, issue 1, 71-87

Abstract: ABSTRACT Consumers invest time and money in their shopping activities and they derive pleasure as well as goods from shopping. Consumer selection of retail stores reflects their perceptions of prices, distances, the time required to complete the desired purchases and the extent to which they enjoy shopping itself. This paper develops a model which incorporates these phenomena. The model implies that stores selling the same product may offer shopping experiences which appeal to customer groups with differing time needs. As a result, lower order stores may successfully locate adjacent to higher order stores becausec consumers exhibit different attitudes to time.
