Retail Market Analysis

Don't Let a Bad Location Kill Your Next Store Before It Opens

Every week, retail chains close newly opened locations that are hemorrhaging money; locations that cost millions to build but were doomed from day one because of poor site selection.

The $2.5 Million Mistake Most Retailers Make

Opening a new store location is one of the biggest bets your company will make this year. The average retail buildout costs $250,000-$500,000, plus inventory, staffing, and marketing. All before you see a single sale.

Yet 67% of retail expansions underperform their revenue targets in the first year. Why? They chose the wrong location.

Here's what happens when you get location wrong:

Revenue targets missed by 30-50% year one

Forced store closures within 24 months (complete loss of investment)

Damaged brand reputation in the market

CFO questions every future expansion decision

Traditional site selection consultants charge $50,000+ and take 4-6 weeks to deliver basic demographic reports. By then, the best available spaces are already leased to your competitors.

What if You Could See Exactly Where to Put Your Next Store? In Days, Not Weeks?

Market Analysis FAQ's

What's the catch? Why is this really free?

No catch. We're providing a Market Blueprint for free because we're confident that once you see the quality of our analysis, you'll want to explore our full GrowthFactor platform for your ongoing expansion needs.

How accurate is your foot traffic data?

Our foot traffic data comes from Unacast, which provides industry-leading accuracy with models that achieve up to 93% correlation with ground truth data. This is the same data source trusted by hundreds of major retail brands and used by companies like Johnson Controls (Sensormatic Solutions) for their retail intelligence. We track actual visitor patterns, dwell times, and movement flows, not just demographics or estimates.

How long is implementation?

You'll be up and running in under two weeks. Just upload your leases and site data—we'll handle the heavy lifting. No IT headaches. No months-long implementation.

What information do you need from me?

We only need three things to get started: your target city, your business concept (restaurant, retail, fitness, etc.), and your main competitors. That's it, the rest we'll handle. You'll provide these details during our call after you submit the initial form, which takes roughly 5 minutes.

Can you analyze multiple cities for us?

Yes, but the free offer is limited to one city per company.

Do you only work with large chains?

Not at all. We work with businesses ranging from single-location companies planning their first expansion to 200+ location chains. Our analysis is valuable for any size company who can't afford to make location mistakes.

What if my industry/concept isn't a good fit for this analysis?

Our analysis works for any brick-and-mortar business; retail stores, restaurants, gyms, QSR's, etc.

How is this different from what my broker provides?

Most brokers provide basic demographic reports and show you available properties. Our Market Blueprint tells you exactly where to look. Instead of evaluating random available spaces, you can direct your broker to focus only on the highest-opportunity areas, saving months of time.

How long does it really take to get my results?

Most are completed within 2 business days. Complex markets or unique concepts may take up to 7 business days. We'll give you an exact timeline when we schedule your analysis.

What format do I receive the analysis in?

You'll get access to an interactive map as a unique link, that you can move around, zoom in/out, and explore in detail. You can turn different overlays on and off (competitors, complementary businesses, foot traffic heat map, etc.) and export the data or images you need. Share the link with your Broker!

Do you support restaurants?

Yes! Our platform is tailored for food-specific insights like traffic patterns, customer proximity, and restaurant KPIs. Whether you're QSR or fine dining, we've got you covered.

What if I'm not ready to expand immediately?

Perfect! Having your Market Analysis ready means you can move quickly when the right opportunity appears. Many of our clients keep their maps updated quarterly so they're always prepared when prime locations become available.
