It is believed that fruits purchasing determinants may contribute to customer satisfaction in fruit shop, which should be further examined.

The participants of this study are customers of MBG Fruit Shop at four selected outlets namely 101 City Mall, NU Central, Tropicana Mall, and Java 33. In finding response of fruit purchasing determinants, self-administered close-ended questionnaires are provided to respondents. From the response, it is found that the key determinants of customer satisfaction are mainly fruit freshness of MBG Fruit Shop and followed by product assortment offered. Additionally, among all attributes in this study, the customers" acceptance level of employee friendliness under the employee service element is slightly lower as compared to other attributes. The results from this study may be useful to fruit businesses owners in deciding whether there is a need for further investment of resources and improving the quality of services, which would increase the level of customer satisfaction.
