The Huff model is an advanced trade area delineation technique widely used in retail site selection. It is based on site attractiveness and distance, and models probabilities of customers patronizing specific retail locations. In this research, we examine the suitability of multi-criteria analysis (MCA) to estimate the attractiveness parameter in the Huff model. In a case study of shopping centres in Toronto, we illustrate that MCA provides a suitable framework for retail site attractiveness. However, variations in the MCA technique have noticeable impacts on the Huff model results.
