Retail site selection

An expansion team for an invented fast-casual chain keeps its Atlanta shortlist here. Its own restaurants, its competitors and every candidate site share one map. Each candidate carries a status, daily traffic, population within three miles, asking rent and a drive-thru flag, and the team's reasoning when a site is passed. Filter to sites under a rent ceiling or with a drive-thru, then share the link with the broker and the franchise partner.

A sample map: its businesses and people are invented.

The use case

Who needs a map like this

Who it’s for

Real estate and expansion teams at restaurant and retail chains, and franchisees choosing their next site

What it’s worth

A bad lease costs six or seven figures. Seeing candidate sites against your own units and your competitors, with traffic, population and rent side by side, lets the team decide faster and argue less than from a deck of site photos and a spreadsheet.

What to notice in this map

  • Candidates in blue sit away from rivals in under-served trade areas
  • Status filter walks a site from Shortlist to LOI signed or Passed
  • Range filters for traffic, population and rent narrow the list in seconds
  • Passed sites keep the team's reasoning in the description
  • Open site package button on every candidate
