Product Description
Whether you are searching for a new business site or relocating an existing business, you have the power to dramatically increase or decrease your profits by choosing the right location. Location is the most important ingredient for success for any business that depends on customers finding it. But how can you tell what is a good location?

This book clearly explains how to:
* Spot the essential characteristics of the best location
* Understand why and how people move from one point to another and how this movement affects their retail business
* Analyze and learn from your competitor's business so you can make your store a better shopping option
* Use the concept of the analogue store to successfully project your store's sales
* Learn about the retail trading zone and how to use it to capture the most customers

Use the following worksheets and instructions along with others to help walk you through the site selection process:
* Retail Trade Zone Survey and instructions
* Long-Range Store Development Plan and instructions

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, Insightful, and Instruction, March 26, 2000
By Ron (North York, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
The basic premise of this book is based on the relationship between two things: location and market. To borrow a quote from the book - " The right location in the wrong market will cause your business to fail - more than if you plan the wrong location in the right market." Building upon this belief, the author teaches the reader how to systematically go about researching for the right information as well as analyzing it. The book is written in a down to earth manner and is very easy to follow. It is comphrehensive and is one of the best books on choosing location.

The best book about location. No theoretical lesson, but the essentials to work with. I'm a McDonald's rep in Belgium and 'll use the guidelines in my work. Belgium is one of the 7 countries were McDonald's losing money due to bad locatios!

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book ever for retail business location, December 1, 2001
By Ziyad Nour (Jeddah Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
Simply the best practical book for finding the best location for your retail store. It is full of practical ideas and tips on how to choose a location. I have read evey single page several times. The proposed techniques are useful for a start up business and a mega chiain store. It is full of sketches to show the impact of different locations on the store traffic.

If you only need one book for store location. Then this is it.
