  • Visitors who do not live in a store trade area.
  • Visitors who live in one retail store trade area.
  • Visitors who live in zip codes that are part of 2+ store trade areas.
Analyze the living daylights out of this.  Customers/visitors who are saturated by retail stores behave different than do customers/visitors who do not live near a retail store.
