How much money could a business in Traffic Circle make?

Best location vs. average location

How StreetSpring calculates location value

  • StreetSpring calculates survivability for each business type separately at each address, so the best location for your concept may differ from the neighborhood's overall top-ranked site.
  • Location is the part of a new business you can compare address by address before committing.
  • When the question is money, the Revenue Capture Score comes first: it is StreetSpring's estimate of the revenue a business can capture at a specific address.
  • Two storefronts on the same street can have different survivability scores: StreetSpring calculates each one individually.
