<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>The present study has attempted to create and examine a conceptually grounded working model that examines the moderating influence of utilitarian and hedonic shopping values with Indian grocery stores on the association between usage of Private Label (PL) and Store Loyalty (SL). For this, primary data was collected from 350 consumers, from different stores in India selling PL products. The theoretical model was analyzed using SEM. The findings of the study reflect that an inverse relationship between PL usage and SL.

For instance, evolving and aligning different marketing strategies help the retailers in creating the necessary USV so as to create shopping involvement that may help retailers to upgrade their SL in a favourable manner over the long term.
