We offer a two-step model of how customers select brands and shop at stores that they are familiar with: first, they focus on framing a shopping problem/opportunity. Second, they retrieve a few benefit-to-brand (or benefit-to-store) linkages relevant to the frame in their working memories. Such thinking and problem-solving is done automatically usually, without effort. Empirically, we demonstrate models of automatic customer benefit-to-store thoughts that explain store choice and similar models that explain store rejection.
