Real estate consulting

Site selection & feasibility,
backed by real operating data.

Demographic analysis, trade-area and drive-time modeling, competitive intelligence, sales forecasts, and economic-impact studies for multi-unit operators and franchisees opening their next quick-lube, car wash, QSR, or auto-service location.

Why it matters

A new location is a multi-year bet. Make it on data.

For a multi-unit operator, the wrong site is a slow, expensive mistake, signed for ten years. Real estate analytics replaces gut feel and a radius on a map with hard demographics, real drive-time trade areas, competitive saturation, and a sales forecast grounded in how your own stores actually perform, so you only sign the sites that pencil out.

What we analyze

Everything that decides a site, before you sign

A complete picture of each candidate location, scored and ranked so the best site is obvious.

Site selection & feasibility

Score and rank candidate sites on the factors that actually drive your unit economics, then pressure-test the front-runner with a full feasibility study before you commit.

Demographic analysis

Population, households, income, age, daytime worker population, growth trends, and vehicle ownership, matched to the customer profile of your best-performing stores.

Trade-area & drive-time

Real 5-, 10-, and 15-minute drive-time isochrones, trade-area capture, and traffic counts, not a circle on a map, so you see the catchment a site can truly serve.

Competitive intelligence

Every competitor in the trade area, their proximity and format, and how saturated the market already is, so you know whether there's room before you build.

Sales forecast & economic impact

A revenue range, ramp curve, and economic-impact model for the site, built from how your comparable locations actually perform, with break-even and ROI views.

Cannibalization & portfolio

Will a new unit grow the market or just split your existing stores? We model overlap and incremental volume so your portfolio expands instead of dividing.

Built for multi-unit expansion

Tuned to your concept's real-estate drivers

Whether you run quick-lube, car wash, QSR, or auto-accessory locations, the model is built around what actually drives traffic and revenue for that format.

Quick lube & auto service

Car counts, drive-by traffic, vehicle density, and bay throughput potential by trade area.

Car wash

Traffic counts, capture rate, membership potential, and competitor tunnels in the catchment.

QSR & fast food

Daypart demand, daytime population, drive-thru viability, and co-tenancy in the trade area.

Auto accessory & parts

Vehicle ownership, DIY vs. DIFM mix, and demand density for accessory and parts retail.

Convenience & c-store

Traffic, fuel demand, inside-sales potential, and competitive fuel sites nearby.

Fitness

Membership-eligible population, income fit, and competing clubs within the drive time.

Retail

Co-tenancy, foot traffic, and trade-area spending power for multi-unit retail concepts.

Franchise development

Territory mapping, market planning, and multi-site pipelines for franchisees and franchisors.

How it works

From search to signed lease, analyst-led

A real analyst, who knows multi-unit operations, runs the study with you, end to end.

1

Define the search

We align on your concept, target markets, expansion goals, and the site criteria that matter for your unit economics.

2

Pull the data

Demographics, traffic, drive-time trade areas, and competition, plus your own store performance from POS.

3

Model the site

Feasibility score, sales forecast, economic impact, and cannibalization, with each candidate site ranked.

4

Decide & sign

A clear go / no-go recommendation and a report you can take to a landlord or franchisor with confidence.

Why myAnalyst

Feasibility grounded in your real numbers

Most site-selection reports lean on national averages. We anchor the forecast to how your own stores actually perform.

Your data, not averages

Because myAnalyst reads your POS, forecasts reflect your concept and your customers, not a generic benchmark.

Analyst-led

A team that has actually run multi-unit businesses, not a self-serve tool, guides every study from search to lease.

One source of truth

Site studies, Store Health, and pacing live in the same platform, so the model you opened with keeps measuring the store.

Questions

Real estate analytics, answered

What is a feasibility study for a new retail or service location?

A feasibility study tells you whether a specific site can hit the numbers before you sign a lease. It combines demographic analysis, trade-area and drive-time modeling, traffic counts, competitive saturation, and a sales forecast into a single go / no-go recommendation with a projected revenue range and break-even view for the location.

How do you forecast sales for a new quick-lube, car wash, or QSR location?

We forecast a candidate site from how your comparable existing locations actually perform, not generic national averages. We match the new trade area's demographics, traffic, and competition to your best analogs, then model a revenue range and ramp curve for the concept, whether it's quick-lube, car wash, QSR, auto accessory, or c-store.

What demographic and trade-area data goes into site selection?

Population and household counts, income, age, daytime and worker population, growth trends, vehicle ownership and traffic counts, and psychographic fit, all measured inside real 5-, 10-, and 15-minute drive-time trade areas rather than a simple radius. We profile each trade area against the customer base of your strongest stores.

Will a new location cannibalize my existing stores?

We model overlap before you open. Using drive-time trade areas and your existing customer origins, we estimate how much of a new unit's volume would be genuinely incremental versus split from nearby stores, so you grow the market instead of dividing it.

Which industries and concepts do you work with?

Multi-unit and franchise operators in quick-lube and auto service, car wash, QSR and fast food, auto accessory and parts, convenience / c-store, retail, and fitness. The model is tuned to the drivers of each concept.

How is this different from a generic site-selection report?

Generic reports lean on national averages and a radius. Because myAnalyst already reads your point-of-sale data, we anchor the forecast to how your own comparable locations perform, and an analyst who knows multi-unit operations walks you from search through signed lease.

How long does a feasibility study take, and what do I get?

Most single-site studies turn around in days to a couple of weeks depending on scope. You get a written report with the demographic and trade-area profile, a competition map, a sales forecast and economic-impact model, a cannibalization view, and a clear go / no-go recommendation you can take to a landlord or franchisor.
