How to Evaluate and Compare Store Locations (Franchise Site Selection Playbook)

Описание: Stop debating opinions.
Start standardizing site selection decisions.

In this session, we break down a practical 4-step site selection playbook used by franchise and retail brands to evaluate locations consistently, prevent cannibalization, and scale expansion without spreadsheet chaos.

You’ll learn:
• How to define what a “good location” really means for your format
• How to create comparable territory packs for every site
• How to detect overlap and avoid self-competition
• How to move from gut feeling to decision-ready outputs
• How to use demographic, travel-time, and competitor data consistently

This session is designed for expansion teams, franchise brands, and retail operators who want a repeatable workflow instead of ad hoc decisions.
