Findings –The paper provides a valuable insight on the perceptions of Indian and Taiwanese customers regarding the service quality of grocery stores in their respective countries which can be effectively analysed and implemented by the Indian retailers to improve the quality of their services. Research limitations/implications – One of the crucial limitations of this study is that the sample is unrepresentative as the rural areas of both the countries have not been covered.
