ABSTRAKPenelitian ini melihat dampak dari store environment terhadap brand image yang kemudian akan mempengaruhi kepercayaan konsumen terhadap merek. Store environment terbentuk dari tiga dimensi yang membentuk satu kesatuan, yaitu ambient condition, space/function, dan signs symbol display. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner kepada 150 konsumen yang pernah mengunjungi satu atau lebih toko ritel fashion merek multinasional. Data diolah menggunakan SEM dan menemukan hasil bahwa dimensi pembentuk store environment tidak dirasakan secara sama besar oleh konsumen. Space/function memberi pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap store environment namun ambient condition dan signs symbol display tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap store environment. Store environment sendiri memiliki pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap citra akan merek dan semakin baik citra terhadap merek, semakin baik pula kepercayaan konsumen terhadap merek tersebut.
