We think alike Piston, I've read that as well.I'd rather be following Woolworths, they have been cloning Walmart for decades.
As soon as large residential land blocks are released, they're out there looking for a location. But i would keep an eye on openings in small towns with no chain supermarket. Should be easy to research the effect.
And btw Sam Walton:Made in America is one of my fav of the >500 books I've read.
If you run a business, specially retail, it's a must.
And don't forget chapter 7 of Wealth Magic
That's all good and fine for people whose strategies are more on the fringe outer suburbs area.
What about for people who like inner/middle suburbs? Will new higher end businesses (David Jones, Fitness First etc) opening shops there be a good indicator that the area is moving up in term of demographic so the potential is good? I have a friend who was in finance dept of FF and she said they put a significant amount of research each area to make sure that they can get good ROI before opening new gyms.
These a new Woolworths at Plainland, between Brisbane & Toowoomba. Looks like its in the middle of nowhere until you see all the new acreage housing estates being built west of Brisbane
i heard about Maccas and Woolies are a good indicator for population growth leading to capital growth.
An link is made here between population growth and capital growth which may apply for certain types of investment but not necessarily for all.
But if you're trying to chart the gentrification of a suburb and cash in on the increasing demand (but not necessarily an increasing population) then more 'upmarket' services like high-end cafes, clothiers and bookshops, service industries for the time-poor, yuppie health food shops, exotic homeware & furniture etc might be better indicators. And to make room for these, the closing down of salvage yards, op-shops, payday lenders, two dollar shops, etc might indicate the area is moving up.
So if this is your market a Maccas moving in isn't necessarily be good news.
