Usually, location problems with preferences are defined over a discrete set of customers and the preference is defined as a function between the customer and the located facility. In the present talk, we assume that each user is served in a spatial region and that a preference function is given over each region. The service points of the demand regions are served from a new central facility. The goal is to determine the locations of the service points in each demand region and the location of the new central facility at minimum transportation cost and reaching certain preference levels of the customers. We present different preference functions and results that support the use of preferences in the regions for decision making. This type of problems is useful in the location design of central storehouses and containers of e-commerce companies.
