-Go to a grocery store, pharmacy or convenience store and based on the class discussions on retail location and retail site location - identity under what category does this particular retailer fall.
-State the advantages and disadvantages that you see for that particular store - parking, pedestrian traffic, etc. and conduct a location analysis.
-Do you think its a good location? If not, what location would be suitable?
I went to the convenience store/Shell gas station on Battleground Road. It falls under the convenience category.
Advantages:
1. It is located on Battleground, a very busy road. This is good for attracting business.
2.It is a well lit place
3.The brand Shell is well known for gas and usually has decent gas prices.
Disadvantages:
1. You cant take a right turn out of it
2.Because of all of the traffic there are sometimes lines waiting to get gas
-This location is placed in a good area for the company and they should probably open up more shells in busy places such as they have on Battleground but, maybe not so good of a location for the customers wanting to frequent there. I would imagine it does really good buisness at all times of the day because of the multiple stores, restraunts and buisneses surrounding it.
