We will discuss about its attributes and gaps, We will discuss about its attributes and gaps, in what contexts has the model been used and the pros and cons when using this model in measuring service quality. Also, we discuss customer satisfaction and how it is been related service quality. Furthermore, we will introduce our empirical context by highlighting why it is of particular interest to study service quality and customer satisfaction in grocery stores and why we choose to use the SERVQUAL model for our research.
