This work is a replication in the Brazilian context of the study by Chebat et al. (2009), in which a model of mall customer loyalty was proposed and empirically tested. The authors of the original study had chosen to test the attitudinal loyalty of consumers and found support for the proposed model by collecting data on shopping malls in Canada. In this study, in addition to testing the attitudinal loyalty model for replication, the model was also tested for behavioral loyalty scale since there is evidence in the marketing literature that the two measurements must be made to access the construct holistically. With the support experts, the data collection instrument was translated, adapted, and then submitted to a pre-test. After that, were collected 300 valid questionnaires following the data collection guidelines established by the original study. Then, data analysis was conducted with structural modeling equations with AMOS software. In this sense, in addition to the assumptions of the original study, were also examined a hypothesis regarding the behavioral loyalty model, as a contribution to generalize the results. Despite the need to exclude a construct of the original model, the results were consistent with the study base, confirming the positive effect of mall image on the consumer's self-congruency that, in turn, and in addition of mall awareness, has a positive impact on consumer commitment to that mall. Finally, the direct influence of the commitment on the consumer´s attitudinal and behavioral mall loyalty were confirmed.
