Abstract
The study examines the spatial arrangement of convenience food stores in the Denver metropolitan area. It deviates from the traditional approach in that not only the overall locational pattern of the stores was examined, but it also identified stores of different chains, and hypotheses were formulated to investigate various locational strategies as manifested in the spatial pattern the stores assumed. Site economics, a location factor rarely treated empirically, was also closely studied. Among the findings worthy of note are first, income and household density provide unexpectedly low statistical explanation of the spatial pattern of the stores; and second, stores of a given chain tend to locate closer to each other than to stores of a competing chain.
