Save-A-Lot Store Location Discussion

Hi all,

Thanks for your experimentation with the factor weighting method for determining a potential Save-A-Lot store location. My general feedback is contained in the attached video.




See Ashlyn, Ethan and Quin's posts for some good discussion about the factors to be considered and their weightings. Also note my points in the video regarding the connection between factors selected, their weightings, and operations strategy/CBP).

Here's one of the articles I referred to in the video. It provides some good background on Save-A-Lot's business strategy.

Here's an excellent radio story on Save-A-Lot from the customer perspective. Its worth a listen.
