Data analysis conducted using descriptive statistics as well as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Subsequently, by using AMOS through structural equation modeling, 292 respondents conducted to test the hypothesized relationship among the variables in the research conceptual model. Based on the result obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling was then drawn to examine the developed hypothesis as well as to test the fitness of the proposed model. Findings revealed that, there is positive impact of customer satisfaction on service quality, product quality, price strategy and store attribute.
