Customer preference is a currency that every business seeks. While most customers do not categorize and compare their experiences by industry, when they enjoy buying a product or service, it is typical that they expect the same experience from every business they patronize.!

The CUSTOMER PREFERENCE SURVEY REPORT is an annual report that beams the light on what customers expect from businesses they patronize the most.

This debut edition focuses on GAS STATIONS and RESTAURANTS in the metropolitan city of Lagos, Nigeria.

With a population estimated at 17.5 million, the demand for petroleum products and fast food is remarkably high. This explains why there are gas stations spread across the city and noted global fast-food restaurants like Dominos Pizza and Kentucky [KFC] have opened numerous outlets in the city.
