The select location of Hypermarket is regarding as the case study in this paper. The proposed hybrid fuzzy MCDM approach is applied to the location choice. There are five criteria and six alternatives (locations) in our model. This paper solves a factor rating system facility location allocation problem defined as follows: 1) Determine alternatives, criteria and decision makers; Define linguistic values and their corresponding fuzzy number and Aggregate the decision-maker's estimation by F-Delphi and F-AHP; 2) Compute the average fuzzy weight and construct the fuzzy decision matrix by F-LLSM and LINGO software; 3) Construct the fuzzy preference function; Define the multi-criteria preference index to decide the valued outranking relation and Calculate the Φ^sup +^ (a), Φ^sup -^(a) outranking flow and the net flow to pre-order the alternatives by F-PROMETHEE; 4) Defuzzification by the Chen's maxima and minima sets and Ranking of alternatives by Excel.
