Of the many types of forecasts that would need to be created to deliver accurate location analysis and expansion plans, the most critical of all are geo-economic analysis of potentially high growth areas that would not cannibalize the sales of existing Burger Queen restaurants. Location-based and impact assessment programs would need to be created for each of the specific locations being considered to ensure other restaurants' sales and the potential business of other franchisees is not negatively impacted by the decision to expand (Leung, 2003). Location and impact assessments would need to take into account the composition of the target market in the immediate radius of the potential sites by socio-economic, demographic, psychographic and existing brand loyalties as well. All of these analyses could be completed using data dining and advanced analytics processes and procedures to ensure orthogonality of each location relative to another and consistency of selection criteria being used (Prewitt, 2007).

Using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to integrate together data sets of population size, demographic composition, per capita incomes, discretionary income and an assessment of local competition . the manager for Burger Queen could have an excellent idea of where each store location needs to be based. Using GIS data to further differentiate by open retail locations could also give the manager greater insight into how best to geographically position the potential Burger Queen locations for greatest competitive advantage against the competition as well (Prewitt, 2007). In addition to accomplishing these tasks from an analytics standpoint, the GIS system could also tell the manager were competitors are the strongest, meaning they are areas that are unassailable in terms of market development (Leung, 2003). For example of there is a specific area of the city or region that is highly loyal to Subway or McDonald's, the GIS systems could quickly show that data, indicating high concentrations of very brand-loyal customers. This would make launching a store in any of these locations extremely difficult.
