description Assigning human`s personality features to brands is one of the main subjects that has been focused by researchers in latest decades. On the other hand, congruency of brand personality with customers` personality is a concept that could affect brand equity. So in order to explore this relationship, this research has tested a model in Shahrvand Chain Stores of Tehran. Sample of 185 customers of this store has been selected and finally with return rate of 90%, 163 usable questionnaires have been returned. Partial Least Square method using SMART PLS software V 1.5 showed that brand-customer personality congruency has significant and positive relationship with brand trust (t=2.214, = β0.205) and brand identification (t= 1.944, = β0.179 with sig< 0.10), also brand identification has positive relationship on brand loyalty (t=5.371, = β0.467) and brand trust has positive effect on brand loyalty (t=3.741, = β0.346) and brand equity (t=2.583, =β0.267), and finally brand loyalty has positive effect on brand equity (t=5.039, =β0.559). In the other hand, the results revealed that brand-customer personality congruency has no direct effect on brand loyalty. Also brand identification do not directly affects brand equity.
