This qualitative research focused on identifying those store image attributes perceived as important by a selected group of female apparel consumers. In addition, their perception of Lindquist’s proposed dimensions of store image attributes was examined. Data were collected by means of eight focus groups. The non-verbal quali-quantive Schutte Visual Scale was employed to quantify responses. Results indicated that Merchandise and Clientele were perceived as the most important dimensions, followed by Service. The dimension Physical facilities was perceived as the least important. Differences between age and population groups were investigated. The store image attribute dimensions generated by the respondents differed slightly from those proposed by Lindquist. Implications for retailers and for further research were formulated.

“…The model exhibited acceptable fit (v 2 (406) 5 958.12, p 5 .00; CFI 5 .91; GFI 5 .83; RMSEA 5 .07; SRMR 5 .65) (Bollen & Long, 1993;Hair, Anderson, Tatham, & Black, 1998). Items that were not significant and those with loadings of less than 0.50 were excluded from further analysis (Kim & Chen-Yu, 2005). Cronbach's alpha for the remaining scale items ranged from .812 to .899 for all constructs (see Table 1).…”

Drawing on behavioral reasoning theory, this study investigated drivers of young consumers’ apparel donation behavior. By examining the impact of values (i.e., benevolence and power) and reasons (i.e., other‐oriented reasons and self‐oriented reasons) on attitudes, this study highlights the different motivations individuals have for donating clothing. As predicted, benevolence was positively related to other‐oriented reasons for donations and power was positively related to self‐oriented reasons for donations. Both other‐ and self‐oriented reasons for donating influenced attitudes related to apparel donation behavior. These findings offer an overarching explanation for the seemingly disparate reasons for apparel donation previously identified.

“…Mass merchandisers, on the other hand, typically reduce expenses for in-store decoration and promotions to drive down prices, using utilitarian lighting and building materials, and intense, even crowded, floor merchandising (Poloian and Rogers 2003). Although in recent years mass merchandisers have worked to provide a more attractive store environment, they still tend to have less in-store decoration, less interesting merchandise layout, and less exciting promotional exhibits than department stores (Kim and Chen-Yu 2005).…”
