The primary research question addressed in this study is: Does perceived risk mediate the effects of brand trust and perceived fit on brand extension success? Based on perceived risk theory, categorization theory, this study constructs a research model by adopting China time-honored brand as the research subject. The study collected 605 valid survey responses using a self-filled questionnaire, employing a combination of purposive and random sampling methods in the location of the parent brands. Quantitative analysis was conducted using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test 4 research hypotheses. The findings indicate that: In the brand extension process of China time-honored brand, 1) perceived risk transmits effects of brand trust to brand extension success; 2) perceived risk transmits effects of perceived fit to brand extension success. These discoveries underscore the importance of considering consumers' perceived risk in the formulation and implementation of brand extension strategies.
