Make the
Best Site Selection Decision for Your Business
“A must
read ... from the absolute master of retail location. Luigi
shares his genius and simple philosophy in a clear and concise
manner.”
H. Wayne Huizenga, Founder
former Chairman of Blockbuster Entertainment Corp.
Whether
you are searching for a new business site or relocating an
existing business, you have the power to dramatically increase
or decrease your profits by choosing the right location.
Location is the most important ingredient for success for any
business that depends on customers finding it. But how can you
tell a good location from a bad one? Experienced real estate
executive Luigi Salvaneschi shares all he knows about the
topic in his guide for retail business owners, managers,
corporate and franchise operators, and real estate agents.
"This book is
effective, because Salvaneschi has been on both side of the issue and
it shows. From the small businessperson to the corporate planner,
this book is essential for those
wanting to be in the
right place, at the right time, for the right success!”
