Alfamart and Indomaret are the two largest retail companies in Indonesia, which are spread from Sabang to Merauke. In 2017 the two companies experienced a decrease in revenue due to administrative and sales costs. The aim of this study is to analyze the retail corporate image between Alfamart and Indomaret in Manado based on store layout, service quality on store, product, in-store promotion, and physical environment.
