Abstract
Scholars agree that value creation is the core purpose of economic exchange and recent dialogue calls for research that extends its conceptualisation, especially with respect to factors that may enhance customer-perceived value. In parallel, an additional call for research recognises the growth in seniors segments, their increased longevity, disposable income and demands as consumers. This paper reports on a study that integrates these two areas. It identifies and compares the strength of the antecedents of overall value of retail outlets for three groups of mature consumers and a younger segment. Factors relating to store characteristics and customer characteristics were investigated with respect to pharmacies and department stores. Data were collected via cross-sectional field studies, using mall intercept (n = 193) and an online panel (n = 527).
