Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out the predictors of revisit intention (RI) to gourmet food trucks (GFTs) located in Gastronomic Collectives. The information was obtained by applying a survey to a sample of 450 customers from the eight Gastronomic Collectives in Tijuana, Mexico. An Exploratory Factorial Analysis was carried out. Five dimensions were identified and included in the multiple regression analysis. The results show that four dimensions positively affect RI to GFTs: food quality, personnel efficiency, hedonic shopping value, and perceived value. The generalization of the results may be limited since GFTs in Gastronomic Collectives have a different operational scheme than the traditional food trucks located in the streets.
