Summary/Abstract: Music is one of the five variables of the store atmospherics. This research aims to test the impact of in-store music on consumer behaviour (emotional, perceptual and behavioural reactions). Following a literature review, hypotheses are formulated, and their validity is tested. Unlike the majority of previous studies, our research was conducted in a real store and not in an experimental context, with a convenience sample of 192 consumers. At the end of this empirical study, we confirm the impact of music on the emotional and behavioural reactions of Algerian consumers.
