South store needed ?

[Ephraim]

rent for anything on Mcleod would be a killer though. One would be much better served to get a location in one of the strip malls 10 blocks off of Mcleod. Same central location, much better rent.

There certainly is a huge advantage to opening a store in the north though. Typically more retail property with better rates. Also, everyone from the south already goes to the north to go fish shopping, you get extra draw this way. Ex, I bet Franco gets way more traffic since Big Al's opened next door.
