For the purpose of this article, I’m going to use the dates 1994-2010, which means there are approximately 65 million Gen Z’ers in the United States. It also means that there is some cross pollination of Gen Y-Millennials and Generation Z. Their parents are mostly Gen X’ers, which means their parents are generally older (average age of 1st time Gen X mom is 31) and more likely to be divorced.

Choosing a retail site in the absence of sound trade area analysis is a lot like flying an airplane with blinders: It forces a business to commit itself to a course in the absence of vital information such as store patronage, local market opportunities, competing businesses, and barriers that would dissuade consumers from visiting the site. Geographic Information System technology is a fundamental tool for analyzing retail trade areas today. This technology removes site selection "blinders" because it identifies and illustrates the crucial factors for site selection within a geographic framework. Essentially, trade area analysis is a methodology, process or technique that provides a basis for understanding, visualizing and quantifying the extent and characteristics of known or approximated trade areas.
