Introduction The following case study will analyze Pam & Susan’s potential expansion of a new store into the Southwest market. The strategy for the expansion is to identify the most appropriate sites for new stores. Traditionally studies have been conducted by the company’s real estate experts where demographics, site visits, and competition were evaluated to come up with estimated sales for the new stores. Unfortunately, actual new store performance has fallen short of the estimates provided by the real estate department. The goal of this analysis is to use statistical methodology to predict sales at 2 potential locations at a much more accurate level and determine which location is likely to have higher sales.
