Abstract
Retail stores are a common part of our everyday life. We focus on the site selection of supermarkets and hypermarkets in Ústí nad Labem and analyze the role of selected factors that drive the site selection of these super/hypermarkets. The role of the factors is verified by a correlation analysis. In the city of Ústí nad Labem, retail units of the supermarket or hypermarket type are unevenly distributed and are concentrated in the more central areas of the city. The location of stores has no power association with monitored factors. The result is certainly strongly influenced by the lack in availability of relevant data.
