Stiegert and Vardges Hovhannisyan 1. INTRODUCTION: FOOD RETAILING: 1850-1990 Before the introduction of supermarkets, fast food outlets, supercenters, and hypermarts, various other food retailing formats operated successfully in the US. During the latter half of the 19th century, the chain store began its rise to dominance as grocery retailing format. The chain grocery store began in 1859 when George Huntington Hartford and George Gilman founded The Great American Tea Company, which later came to be named The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (Adelman, 1959). The typical chain store was 45 to 55 square meters, containing a relatively limited assortment of goods.

    Billy Creek 125 Billy Creek Dr | Hurst TX Trade Area Map Trade Area: 10 Miles InsertMap191.1 8/3/2020 © SiteSeer Technologies. Data by ChainXY and Shopping Center Database, Inc. Information is presented without verification or warranty. Page 1 Billy Creek 125 Billy Creek Dr | Hurst TX Void Analysis Overview The match scoring algorithm is a proprietary index created by SiteSeer Technologies and provides the user with a visual indicator of how well one’s site trade area matches the typical site location profile of each tenant chain. The match score ranges from 0-100 with a score of zero indicating that the chain has never located in a trade area similar to yours and a score of 100 indicating that the chain always locates in a trade area like yours. The algorithm looks at both (a) the percentage of times each chain locates in a trade area similar to yours, and (b) how far each site metric is from the chain’s median site profile. The site profile is determined by the types of communities and trade areas where the tenant typically locates; site characteristics such as whether the chain typically locates in primary or secondary retail areas, on major arteries, or in areas of high business traffic; and trade area consumer demographics and behavior. The number of new locations is based on date stores were added to the database and includes stores added in the past 12 months. Void Analysis sources chain locations and attributes from ChainXY. Tenant categories, sizes, shopping center types, and phone numbers are sourced from the Shopping Center Database (RTD), SiteSeer Technologies, free sources, and company websites.
