Background of the Study
Brand loyalty is essential for business sustainability, especially in highly competitive industries like the fast-food sector. Loyal customers not only drive repeat sales but also contribute to positive word-of-mouth marketing. However, maintaining brand loyalty in today’s dynamic and competitive environment is increasingly challenging (Jones & Smith, 2023).

In Gombe State, the fast-food industry has witnessed significant growth, driven by urbanization and changing consumer preferences. However, fast-food outlets face stiff competition from both local and international brands. Factors such as inconsistent service quality, evolving customer expectations, and the emergence of new competitors challenge the ability to retain loyal customers (Adebayo & Musa, 2024).

Statement of the Problem
Despite the importance of brand loyalty, fast-food outlets in Gombe State struggle to retain customers in a highly competitive market. Challenges such as inconsistent product quality, inadequate customer engagement, and competitive pricing strategies erode customer trust and loyalty (Okeke & Bello, 2023).

While studies on brand loyalty are abundant, limited research explores the specific challenges faced by fast-food outlets in Gombe State. Addressing this gap is critical for developing effective strategies to enhance customer retention and loyalty.

  2. To examine the impact of competition on customer loyalty.

  3. To propose strategies for improving brand loyalty in fast-food outlets.

Research Questions

  1. What factors affect brand loyalty in fast-food outlets in Gombe State?

  2. How does competition impact customer loyalty?

Research Hypotheses

  2. Competition does not significantly impact customer loyalty.

  3. Proposed strategies do not significantly improve brand loyalty.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on fast-food outlets in Gombe State, examining factors affecting brand loyalty in a highly competitive environment. Limitations include varying consumer demographics and differences in brand positioning.

Definitions of Terms
