A continuous single‐facility location problem, where the fixed cost (or installation cost) depends on the region where the new facility is located, is studied by mean of cooperative Game Theory tools. Core solutions are proposed for the total cost allocation problem. Sufficient conditions in order to have a nonempty core are given, then the Weber problem with regional fixed costs is studied.
