The aim of this study is to make a scientific contribution to understanding the relationship between SERVQUAL model and customer loyalty. The primary objective is to examine the composite relationship between SERVQUAL model and customer loyalty from the perspective of FMCG customers. The second objective is to investigate the relationship between each dimension of the SERVQUAL model in relation to customer loyalty. Through the self-rated survey, data was collected from the 400 walk-in customers of FMCG firms. Using PLS-SEM approach, the validation of SERVQUAL model was analyzed in relation to customer loyalty. Also, the influence of each dimension of service quality on customer loyalty was examined. The findings of primary objective revealed that the SERVQUAL model is significantly and positively linked to the customer loyalty. Further, the findings of the second objective revealed that each dimension of the SERVQUAL model has a significant relationship with the customer loyalty and depicts noteworthy contribution of service quality in literature.
