The use of multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to determine whether there is a relationship between the influence of product quality, price, location and promotion on purchasing decisions. Product quality variable with tcount 2.845 > ttable 2.06390 with a significant level of 0.009 <0.05 concluded that product quality has a positive and significant effect on the purchasing decision variable, then H1 is accepted. The location variable with tcount 2.663 > ttable 2.06390 with a significant level of 0.013 <0.05 concluded that location has a positive and significant effect on the purchasing decision variable, then H3 is accepted.
