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).

This would make launching a store in any of these locations extremely difficult.

Featuring precious environmental assets compared to other fossil fuels and large reserves, natural gas has seen its share of global energy increasing steadily since the 70s. (Harry, pp88-96) In the recent past, the gas markets were fairly predictable; they are now undergoing profound and uncertain changes.
