From the statistical analysis, it was found that the product factors, Promotion and Point of Sale influence statistically significantly customer satisfaction and satisfaction influences statistically significantly intend to supermarket customer repurchase. Although low-income consumers form the sample, the price factor does not influence the satisfaction of these consumers as well as the People factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
