The creation of comparative competitive advantages takes place/ occurs in grocery retailing not only through the operated retail format (supermarket, hypermarket, etc.) or retailer`s own brands, but also through the customer service being performed.

An empirical research carried out in two different periods in Romanian grocery retailing highlights the evolution of consumers` perception of the existence of two complementary services provided by the analysed stores loyalty programmes and merchandise return policy.
