Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses were conducted. The result suggests that there is a positive correlation between pharmacy service quality, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Also, pharmacy service dimensions’ variables, pharmacist attitude, medication supply and pharmacy location were found to significantly impact customer loyalty.
