What to look at on the map

For a supermarket / mini-mart, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan Brisbane on the interactive map, focus on these:

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Households within 2km drive are primary catchment.

  • 🅿️Parking nearby

    Customers buy in volume — they need parking.

  • ⚔️Direct competitors (1km)

    Other supermarkets within 1km hurt.
