Supermarkets in Chinhoyi Town have been facing customer loyalty problems hence this study is critical in identifying the real factors that drive customers to choose a supermarket. In recent years, supermarkets in Chinhoyi have increased and become more concentrated in the Central Business area (CBA) and at the same time new grocery store forms, such as hypermarkets have invaded the Central Business Area too. These new options have given customers more alternatives for grocery shopping. Therefore the questionnaire approach was used to collect data from 322 respondents. The cross sectional method of data was collected once from the primary source. The hypothesis developed in this study was measured using regression analysis. The results of the study revealed that the location of the supermarket, children’s play areas and parking areas are likely to influence the customers’ choice of a supermarket. Thus this study recommends that supermarkets in C hinhoyi must have well defined parking areas, children’s play areas and must be located in areas that are more convenient to customers.","PeriodicalId":409259,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Public Policy and Governance","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129315122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to select 300 respondents from selected LGAs in Lagos State. In all, 300 respondents were interviewed. Simple statistical tools like percentile and chi-square were used to determine the net effects of the explanatory factors on the post retirement living conditions.

Furthermore, the results from the test shows that there is a significant relationship between post retirement living conditions of retirees and their preparations toward retirement. The study concludes that there are both sex and educational differences in the perception of retirement stress by retired civil servants.","PeriodicalId":409259,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Public Policy and Governance","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129782948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
