Location strategy

Location strategy for multi-site brands

Location strategy starts with the decision you need to make: where to open next, how many stores a market can carry, and which stores in your estate to invest in, move or exit. h3hex consultancy connects the evidence to your proposition, your estate and your growth plan.

Where to open next

A list of towns is a starting point, not a strategy. We show which markets fit the brand, where there is room to grow and why each one is on the list.

Store network planning

How many stores each market can carry, national network plans, and site selection and acquisition, drive-thru and roadside included.

Estate review

A store-by-store view of the estate: where to invest, where to relocate, where to exit.

A new format

What worked on the high street may not carry over to a retail park or a drive-thru. We check the location criteria before you carry them across.
