What to look at on the map

For a convenience store, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan Denver on the interactive map, focus on these:

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Within 300m walk = primary catchment.

  • 👣Foot-traffic proxy

    Commuter morning / evening flows critical.

  • 🚉Public transit

    Near transit stop = +30% morning sales.

  • ⚔️Direct competitors (1km)

    Other convenience stores within 200m split the market.
