The topic, the goal of the research, the hypotheses, the methods and the sources are presented in the latter. The theoretical parts of the third and the fourth chapter are about space management of a store, as well as about store layout types and its design. In order to manage store space successfully it is important to know the customers. Decorating shopping space so that it gives the buyers a sense of trust in the quality of the products and so that it attracts as many customers as possible is essential. Spatial planning is also crucial for space management; so is neat stacking of goods and creating a pleasant atmosphere. Lately, more and more attention is given to the elements which create a pleasant atmosphere in order to keep the customers in a store as long as possible and to make them buy impulsively. The main goal of forming a store layout is to enable the shoppers to move freely and easily inside a shop and to let them have unhindered access to all the products. In the fifth chapter entitled The effect of the layouts on the buyers there is a review of a research on designing layouts made by other authors.

The results of a survey on customer satisfaction and their opinions about certain elements of a store layout can be found in the sixth chapter. The results obtained indicate that the elements such as affable employees, music, lighting, pleasant atmosphere and the ease of movement in a shopping area have an impact on the total store turnover.
