This paper aims at developing a reliable and valid measure of
retailer store image. Scientific scale development process has been
followed. Survey methodology was used to collect data. The results
are tested for reliability and validity using confirmatory factor
analysis. The study conceptualizes a retailer’s image as a reliable
and valid multidimensional construct, explained in eight dimensions.
The scale can be used to measure the perception of customers with
regard to these eight factors and would provide directions to
managers for retailing strategies.
