Element has provided tenant representation and real estate strategy for Discover Strength corporate for the past five years. Recently, Discover Strength embarked on a franchise growth strategy and Element (as preferred real estate services vendor) has assisted the first two franchisees in site location and lease negotiation services for the new Discover Strength locations in Wayzata and Maple Grove.
In preparation for Discover Strength’s franchised growth strategy, Element worked closely with Discover Strength’s executive team to develop a Franchise Territory model, dividing the Twin Cities Metro market into 40 logical submarkets using zip codes as the base geography. Then using Discover Strength customer sales data, combined with detailed demographic and psychographic analysis and GIS (Geographic Information System) functionality, Element helped identify the top Discover Strength market areas. This analysis has allowed Discover Strength to review potential submarkets and provide insight into future location decisions.
These findings were used to determine Discover Strength’s best Tapestry Segmentation categories (ESRI Tapestry Segmentation database segments the United States population into 67 market segments and 14 summary groups which helps understand dominant “lifestyle” as well as “life stage” characteristics of a community). Additionally, the data allowed production of heat maps and the creation of primary and secondary trade area maps that allowed Element to develop drive time estimates to further codify the extent to which a Discover Strength client is willing to travel for Discover Strength services.
