Each retailer was evaluated on seven store experience categories including: product offerings, price-value-ratio, customer service, atmosphere, accessibility and location, orientation and product display and loyalty programs.
The study interviewed more than 45,000 consumers and collected over 293,000 comprehensive retailer reviews, making it one of America’s largest independent retail experience studies.
