what metrics do you look for when finding a location

[clownhair]

I am at a point where I am considering adding another store and was looking for some input from others on what metrics they find useful when looking at buildings. We are a delivery carryout location. Is there a general formula to estimate total market. How do you estimate what percent of the available market you can capture?

I know when I was working as an area supervisor for a large chain, I got to scout a few possible locations for them. They used to estimate $1/month per household within a 5 mile radius of the store, as monthly sales. Where this came from, I could not tell you, but all the stores I was responsible for held within 90% of that sales goal or better.

Interesting thought process. My inclination would be to look for a location where there are a lot of restaurants nearby that seem to be doing well. The logic is that I want a big pie to carve a slice out of and I am willing to compete to get it.
