How do large stores (Sears, Best Buy, Pottery Barn, etc.) evaluate locations for a new store?
Specifically, a friend who owns a shopping center and wants to attract a major store to a 30,000 sq ft location that will be completed in 2010. Her industry connections have not been effective at unlocking the decision-making process of major stores so she can market to them. Any insights into the process or where to go for further research would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
