INTRODUCTION:
DEFINITION:
It can refer to the way business is conducted in the retail sector; the
very stage in which goods and services are delivered to their end users.
RETAIL SERVICE QUALITY:
The retail environment is changing more rapidly than ever

before. It is characterized by intensifying competition from both domestic and
foreign companies, a spate of mergers and acquisitions, and more
sophisticated and demanding customers who have greater expectations
related to their consumption experiences.
Consequently, retailers today must differentiate themselves by meeting

the needs of their customers better than the competition. There is strategy for
creating competitive advantage is the delivery of high service quality.
The most widely known & discussed scale for measuring service
quality is RSQS, a scale designed to measure five dimensions of service
quality;
 Physical Aspects.
 Reliability.
 Personal Interaction
 Problem Solving.
 Policy.
A retail store experience involves more than non-retail service

experience in terms of customers negotiating their way, through the store,
finding the merchandise they want, interacting with several store personnel
along the way, and returning merchandise, all of which influence customers
evaluations of service quality. Thus, although measures of service quality for
pure service environments and for retail environments are likely to share
some common dimensions, measure of retail service quality must capture
additional dimensions. Our purpose is to investigate the dimensions of service
quality in a retail environment and to develop and validate a scale to measure
retail service quality.
