This chapter examines the evolution of retail location theory over time. Changes in the theory of retail location are explained in part by consumers’ willingness to drive past a well-located shopping center in order to patronize a shopping center with a preferred selection of merchandise or a desirable anchor tenant. In terms of measuring the significance of merchandise selection and anchor tenant image, the chapter documents that retail clustering and anchor tenant image have a dramatic effect on nonanchor tenant sales.
