Abstract

The purpose of this study was to classify customer's satisfaction of coffee shops in term of economic and non-economic satisfaction, as well as to examine the effects of coffee shops image on customer's economic and non-economic satisfaction and customer brand loyalty. For this purpose, we collected data from 301 coffee shops, as well as from customers who visited brand name coffee shops in Seoul, Korea. The result of this CFA shows that this study was valid and reliable. Our findings were as follow: (1) Product and accessibility image of coffee shops influenced customer's economic satisfaction, whereas facility and staff image did not. (2) The effects of product, facility, staff and accessibility image on customer's non-economic satisfaction were significant. (3) Coffee shop image was not influenced by brand loyalty. (4) Economic and non-economic satisfaction had a significant impact on brand loyalty.
