Opening a supermarket isn’t just about finding a shop space—it’s about selecting the right neighbourhood with high potential, long-term sustainability, and untapped demand. At Mar-Cat, we combine data, experience, and local insight to help you make smarter location decisions that reduce risk and drive growth.

Household types (families, students, working professionals)
Urban vs. semi-urban layouts
Future population growth based on infrastructure development

Proximity to competitors can work for or against you depending on how strategically you position your store.
We evaluate:
Existing retailers and their product range
Store formats (organised, kiranas, premium, discount)
