The investigation of this issue should shed more light about the growth and survival of the Main Street Retail system. Moreover, the search for a broader perspective in science becomes necessary, as noted by General Systems Theory.Theoretical contributions: Based on the a literature review on General Systems Theory, this paper is a theoretical essay which tries to bridge the existing gap between theory and applicability of the Systems Theory. It analyzed the Mains Street Retail system along the following three levels: Subsystem or Micro System level, Social Organization or Meso System level and Environmental or Macro System level.Relevance/Originality: This research offers theoretical perspective on General System Theory, Marketing System and the possible application on retail environment with focus on Main Street Retail.Managerial implications: This research offers theoretical perspective on General System Theory, Marketing System and the possible application on retail environment with focus on Main Street Retail. The Main Street is important social organization for providing a social development in local business but their survival is directly related to the system below (micro) and above (macro).
