5 Purpose Supermarket Feasibility Study Standard Business Geographics Techniques Geostatistical Analysis Thiessen (Equal Competition) Polygon Ring Analysis Huff (Gravity Model) 5

6 Assumptions Small footprint store (15, ,000 GLA). Neighborhood market not sufficient to support supermarket. Must be a destination high end brand. Provide basic needs to neighborhood market. Draw from much larger area for specialized products. Brand recognition is critical. Lund s, Whole Foods, Trader Joe s. 6

16 Geostatistical Analysis Conclusions Phoenix Site Compares favorably to existing stores Highest population density. Similar grocery spending per square mile. Similar income per square mile. 16

17 Equal Competition Polygon Thiessen Polygon. Edges are equidistant between Phoenix site and each competing store. Extract underlying data using standard GIS techniques. 17

28 Ring Conclusions Neighborhood ring (3-mile) still insufficient. Destination ring (5-mile) much better results. True destination market probably bl miles. 28

29 Gravity Model Analysis Huff Model. Calculates shopping probability for any given location. Based on: Distance to all sites in analysis. Attractiveness of competing sites. Attractiveness generally measured by GLA. 29

30 Gravity Model Assumptions Attractiveness (mass) has three components. GLA (store size): Bigger stores can attract consumers over greater distances. Price: Consumers will travel greater distances for real or perceived lower prices. Quality: Consumers will travel greater distances for higher quality (meat, produce, specialties). Distance is not linear, but a power function (D 2 ). 30

31 Gravity Model Formula P ij A j 2 = D ij n 1 A D 2 ij Where P ij = Probability that Consumer i will shop at Store j. A= Attractiveness D ij = Distance from Consumer i to Store j. Attractiveness = (GLA * PF) + (GLA * DF) Where GLA = Gross Leasable Area PF = a price factor DF = a destination factor Attractiveness = (GLA * PF) + (GLA * DF) Where GLA = Gross Leasable Area PF = a price factor DF = a destination factor For standard supermarkets, PF=1, DF=1 For low price supermarkets, PF>1, DF<1 For destination supermarkets, PF<1, DF>1 Examples: Festival Foods = Standard Walmart = Low Price Lunds = Destination For t standard d supermarkets, kt PF=1, DF=1 For low price supermarkets, PF>1, DF<1 For destination supermarkets, PF<1, DF>1 Examples: Festival Foods = Standard Walmart = Low Price Lunds = Destination 31

32 Determining Model Parameters Devil in the details. Price factors. Destination factors. How to determine each? How to scale each? 32

33 Price Factors Random sample survey. High = 10 Low = 1 How do you rate each brand? Average results for each brand. Scale the results. 33

34 Destination Factors How far will you drive to visit this brand? How close to make a majority of your purchases at this brand? Brand awareness of Lunds. Distance people would drive. 34

38 Conclusions Destination market can locate almost anywhere lacking direct competitors in the market. Grow the brand into smaller markets. Pick development locations. Property tax and other considerations. Minimize the supply chain. 38
