Conclusion
This research provides an in-depth analysis of strategy adherence and the factors operating within and external to the Store Managers of the remote community stores that influenced the implementation of the Healthy Stores 2020 strategy. Multiple factors found to operate within each of the CFIR domains, impacted implementation. Overall, positive Store Manager individual and intervention characteristics were underpinned by the unique alignment of the Healthy Stores 2020 strategy with outer community need, the inner sense of social purpose of ALPA and its established organisational structures and processes. Insight in to this complexity of implementation can help optimise the design and development of implementation strategies to support the adoption of food retail interventions in to practice for maximum population health gain. This research provides knowledge on key factors that may be important to implementation strategies for health-enabling food retail interventions in other contexts. ALPA provides an example of how a strong sense of social purpose can reorientate food retail to meet community need.
