Consultation
Branch performance review
A store-by-store look at trading, staffing, and lease burden so you can decide whether to renew, remodel, or exit.
Who this is for
Retail operators facing lease renewals, uneven weekly take across the estate, or a nagging sense that one or two branches are absorbing management time without earning it.
Scope
We compare each selected branch against its own catchment potential and against sibling stores of similar size. The review covers sales pattern by daypart, visible merchandising discipline, staffing cover, local competition, and the rent-to-sales relationship implied by the current lease.
Included
- Branch visit notes with photographs of layout and frontage conditions
- A ranking of stores by recovery potential versus exit urgency
- Practical actions for the middle group — hours, range edits, or local marketing worth testing
- A short board note suitable for landlords or internal investment committees
Excluded
Mystery shopping programmes, mystery till audits, and full accounting reforecasts sit outside this consultation unless agreed separately.
Typical timeline
Week one gathers figures and schedules visits. Weeks two and three cover field work and draft findings. A final call walks through recommendations before you speak to landlords or regional managers.
