By sales data it was possible to conduct a statistical analysis to see which variables regarding consumers shopping experience influenced the Average purchase.

The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the dominating discourse in the preliminary work of the Sex Purchase Act. In order to achieve the aim of this study we selected preliminary work of the Sex Purchase Act that was produced between 1977 and 1999.

The research done in the field of product completeness/incompleteness is limited. The lack of research causes a knowledge gap in the retailing industry, concerning the actual effects on consumer choice, as well as on the overall store evaluation.

The results display an inconsistent effect on consumer's product choice when the completeness/incompleteness in a grocery store is tested.
