Martineau (1958) introduced the idea of store image and described it as the definition of a customer regarding a store according to its attributes that work functionally and psychologically. Martineau explained that the characteristics of store image help the customer differentiate it from that of other stores. The functional characteristics of a store include the layout of the store and its products, location, price and value-for-money attribute, and customer service. The psychological aspects include the luxury and attraction of the store. According to Kunkel and Berry (1969), customers obtain an image of a store after having experienced the store and comparing this experience to their expectations; the outcome of this comparison induces future revisits and repurchase decisions
