The rent or cost of the building represents a major cost to the retail. Even if the other tenants of retaining is observed and retail outfit is poorly sited. A good location enables the retailer to make use of all the merchandizing plans as drawup, provision of sample parking space and sufficient marchandise supply with competitive price and altenative display enhance the success of the store. Display is also of paramount important to get exposure for all the items of merchandize becaues most consumers trend to just move on perimeter of the store and if all the goods are not well exposed him might not buy.

Research has also shown that majority of the purchases made by consumers are done an impulse and all items should be properly display so that customer will be allowed proper view of all displays as unseen goods are usually unsold.
