GAP ANALYSIS RETAIL STORE & MERCHANDISE SPENDING

GAP ANALYSIS: RETAIL STORE AND MERCHANDISE SPENDING

To better understand the economy of Frankfort, the following analysis was conducted. The gap analysis of retail store and merchandise spending provide evidence of surplus in certain areas or opportunity gaps. The gap analysis was conducted on the retail trade area of consumers within 1, 10, and 15 miles of the town center. Consumers living within a 10 mile radius of town are consider the core consumers for Frankfort, while those within 15 miles are still likely to spend money in town.

The difference between local demand and supply provide the gap or surplus available for each category. The demand data is obtained from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE Survey or CEX) performed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and the supply data is obtained from the Census of Retail Trade (CRT) from the U.S. Census.

The retail gap analysis focuses on the money spent at each type of retail store, while the merchandise analysis uses money spent on types of merchandise, regardless of the type of store. The analysis will provide insight to opportunities to target underserved markets. The figures in red represent a surplus where Frankfort is supplying more than the local consumer demand. The figures in black represent an opportunity gap where the local supply is less than the demand for certain products or stores.
