  1. Key Issues • Elements of risk • Quantitative methods of location analysis • Buying Power Index • Index of Retail Saturation • Market expansion potential • Gravity models: Reilly, Huff • Regression as used in trade area analysis

  2. Selecting a Retail Site The Expansion Stage Use real estate firms, local personnel, etc. to identify a large number of possible sites The Qualitative Stage Use checklists or examine performance of analogous stores to screen possible sites for the best sites The Quantitative Stage Use quantitative modeling to further screen the likely sites by generating forecasted potentials for each site The Decision Stage Make a site selection decision based on the results of both the quantitative qualitative assessments

  3. Regional Analysis Area Analysis Site Analysis Location Analysis

  4. Information Minimizes Risk Risk Criteria

  6. Methods: The “Quantitative” Stage • Measuring Demand • Decennial Census of the U.S. • Buying Power Index (BPI) • Private Firms • Issues Affecting Competition • Index of Retail Saturation • Market Expansion Potential • Private Firms • Measuring Trade Areas • Analog (similar store) Approach • Customer Spotting (trade-area mapping) • Gravity Models • Reilly’s Law of Retail Gravitation • Converse’s Breaking Point Model • Huff’s Model of Intermarket Attraction • Multiple Regression Analysis

  8. Measuring Demand BPI: Buying Power Index Retail demand in an area as a % of total retail demand in the U.S. BPI = (.5 x Income) + (.3 x Sales) + (.2 x Population) BPI Salt Lake City .471 San Diego .935 New York City 3.345 Decennial Census of the U.S. SMSA: Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area “a central city of 50,000+ population, the counties in which it is located, and other contiguous metropolitan counties that are economically and socially integrated with the central city” Private Firms Urban Decision Systems Map Objects (W3) Microvision Zip Code System Claritas Corporation’s PRIZM database

  9. Issues Affecting Competition:Index of Retail Saturation Shows the relationship between demand and supply for a store type -- the average retail spending per square foot of selling space IRS = population of area x per capita retail spending retail selling space (in sq. feet) Or just … IRS = area retail spending retail selling space

  10. E.g., in Utah Valley (2000): Population = 358,000 Annual per capita retail spending = $10,377 IRS = 358,000 x $10,377 = $ X ??? Issues Affecting Competition:Index of Retail Saturation IRS = area retail spending retail selling space

Steps: 1. Determine trade area for successful stores (customer spotting) 2. Characterize their primary, secondary, fringe trade areas 3. Match the characteristics of these stores with potential new store locations to determine the best site

  20. E.g., predicted sales on site A = f(visibility of store from street,no. of competitors in trade area,population density in trade area, average age in trade area, average income in trade area,number cars per hour past site,etc.) Regression Analysis Approaches Can use data from current successful stores to predictthe probability of success for stores were they placedon sites being considered.

  21. Regression Fundamentals • R2 = variance in Y explained by X • Equation for a line? • Y = a + bX … a? b? • a = intercept … point where line crosses Y axis • b = slope … Y / X • Interpret: Y = 1 + .5X Y = 1 + 1X 5 4 3 2 1 Y-axise.g., sales X-axise.g., population 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  25. Critiquing a MultipleRegression Equation • Is the equation complete on all important variables? • Do the signs of the independent variables make sense? • Is there logical reason to expect that the performance of a store is related to the independent variables? • Are the regression forecasts kept within the range of the input data?

  26. Interpretation? Suppose Media Play has developed a regression equation to identify attractive retail trade areas and sites, based on a study of 100 of its stores having from $450,000 to $1 million in sales. Forecasted Annual Sales (in $000) = 200 + 8.4HHI + 1.2TC - 11.3CR where, HHI = mean trade-area household income (in $000) TC = average no. of cars per minute driving past the site CR = # competing retailers within a mile of site For an increase of ... Sales forecast will change by $1000 in mean household income _________ 50 cars per minute _________ 1 retailer in the trade area _________

  27. Problems with this Equation? Forecasted Annual Sales (in $000) = 200 + 8.4HHI + 1.2TC - 11.3CR where, HHI = mean trade-area household income (in $000) TC = average no. of cars per minute driving past the site CR = # competing retailers within a mile of site • Is the equation complete on all important variables? • Do the signs of the independent variables make sense? • Is there logical reason to expect that the performance of a store is related to the independent variables? • Are the regression forecasts kept within the range of the input data?

  28. Multiple Regression Procedure • Select a group of existing stores • Identify a dependent variable (e.g., revenues) • Select a set of independent variables logically related to the dependent variable • Collect data on all variables for both existing stores (including revenues) and the proposed sites (no revenues of course) • Enter the data & develop the a regression equation • Use equation to forecast sales or share for the proposed sites • Focus further attention on sites having highest forecasts

  29. Regression Example:Hogi Yogi No. competitors: No. of frozen yogurt competitors within 1-mile radius Visibility: A subjective 1-7 index rating based on how visible the store is within the shopping center or on the street Clustering: The degree to which the store is clustered with other restaurants (0 to 3) RGI: Secondary data on Restaurant Growth Index (which shows the relationship between restaurant supply & demand, by market, with average = 100 University: Whether there is a university within 1 mile (0=no, 1=yes) Local owner: Whether the owner lives near the restaurant (0=no, 1=yes) Method: 20 Hogi Yogi stores were initially analyzed by means of 70 variables per store, along with sales data. Data was examined for (1) the first 4 months of a store’s opening and (2) the first year of sales. Using stepwise regression, all 70 were examined, to develop two equations: 1. Initial 4-month sales upon opening a new store. 2. Sustained sales during the first year of operation Source: BYU Site selectionstudy for Hogi Yogi, 1995
