Based on the objective, exploratory research has been used for exploring new items in Indian context and descriptive research has been used for the development of the retail service quality scale. Data were collected with a sample of 400 customers. A validated Retail Service Quality Scale is developed for measuring service quality in specialty store and its impact on future consumption behaviour is studied. It results in six dimensions namely inspiring confidence, reliability, appearance, problem solving, policy, and courteousness. The results show that among the six service dimensions, an inspiring confidence and policy have the greatest impact on the overall service quality and future consumption respectively. The implications for practitioners and researchers are discussed.
