Findings: Three dimensions of customer experience (staff interaction, customer interaction and physical environment) have a significant effect on customers’ satisfaction, but only one dimension (physical environment) has an effect on customers’ attitudinal loyalty. An additional finding of this research is that all the hedonic quality dimensions (except hedonic emotional) have an effect on customers’ satisfaction. Lastly, customers’ satisfaction has a significant effect toward customers’ attitudinal loyalty.
