a best in class site selection model

A common concern for any franchise owner is how to find the perfect location for their store. The last thing you want to do is spend loads of time and money on a fresh new site, just to have the equivalent traffic of a lone Wyoming highway. TCBY can empathize with that concern. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Buxton®, a customer analytics firm, to help you find your ideal location.

Buxton® has 17 years of experience compiling data about the spending habits and lifestyle trends of your potential customers. Analyzing this data, they will predict what locations these people will frequent and then work with our Real Estate Department to find that ideal place just for you. So, the only thing you should really worry about is making sure you don’t run out of yogurt for all your brand-new fans.
