Abstract
Affiliated grocers on the whole tend to be well satisfied with group retailing, according to a study carried out by the authors. Nevertheless the loss of only a few percent of members over the year can amount to a considerable drain and could even outweigh new recruitment. The authors have carried out a study into why retailers leave voluntary groups, and this article summarises their findings.
