An Attractive Retail Destination
- Source: Younger Associates, Consumer Survey
A survey of retail customers in Marion/Crittenden County found that 35% of those customers come from outside Crittenden County, with 15.3% coming from Shelby County.
The number one reason shoppers from surrounding counties come to Marion is convenience.
Shoppers from areas west of Crittenden County prefer retail centers in Crittenden County, AR, over Memphis, TN, if the same products are available.
For people who reside in downtown Memphis, including the affluent areas of Harbor Town and South Bluffs, Crittenden County is the most convenient retail venue for most products.
West Tennesseans headed to their second homes around the lakes in eastern Arkansas stock up in Crittenden County stores before their weekend retreats.
