SiteProspectingMapSite prospecting and site selection tools enable us to search for the best store sites for your business. We can summarize the underlying demographics around possible new locations for comparison and analysis. Sites are selected by analyzing single or multiple locations. Our information and analysis allows you to evaluate a potential store location based on distance or travel time. You can specify the distance or travel time based on your experience at other stores in similar market areas.

    total sales, square footage, and gross leasable area

    (Thiessen polygons)
  • Drive time-defines areas accessible along the street network based on your specified maximum travel time or distance
