Abstract: The paper analyses the evolution of the retail network of the capital city of Slovakia Bratislava affecting buying behaviour and lifestyle of its consumers. From the marketing point of view, it characterizes the space behaviour of the consumers and presents the behaviour of consumers living in single districts of Bratislava. It shows, on the one hand, how the importance of consumer behaviour rises in the declining economic prosperity during last years, while on the other hand, the concentration in retail declines the chances for success of small independent food retail stores during last recent years. The authors used different methods, e.g. GIS, cluster analysis, for testing they asses the significance of market segments on the sample involving 11,389 respondents interviewed.
