A good location enables the retailer to make use of all the merchandizing plans as draw up, provision of sample parking space and sufficient merchandise supply with competitive price and alternative display enhance the success of the store. Display is also of paramount important to get exposure for all the items of merchandize because most consumers trend to just move on perimeter of the store and if all the goods are not well exposed him might not buy.
