Abstract

A survey administered to small town residents about outshopping for shoes demonstrated that small social groups are related to shopping behavior. Inshopping is single purpose, and for many, a task done alone, while outshopping is more of a social experience. The isolated nature of student society in a college town leads to identifiably different spatial shopping patterns for the student group as well (Blacksburg, Virginia, 1980).
