The questions that decide the site

Run it yourself, in a browser, while the meeting is still going.

Find sites

Start from a metro, not an address

Hexmark ranks every neighborhood in it against your definition of a customer and hands back the ones worth a visit, each with the reason it made the list.

Hexmark's Find sites result for the Atlanta metro: the top neighborhood, Ponce Triangle, open on the map with 11,290 matching people inside three miles and the reasons it ranked first
Atlanta, a metro this chain doesn't operate in yet. 4,818 neighborhoods ranked, and Ponce Triangle first with 11,290 matching people inside three miles.
Site report

Compare two addresses in a minute

Search an address and the report counts how many of your people live inside three miles, the competitors already there, and how much of that demand would be new to you. Then do the same on the address you're weighing it against.

The Hexmark site report for Fashion Island in Newport Beach: 4,539 ideal customers and 94 competitors inside three miles, all 4,539 new to the chain, over a breakdown of who lives there
Fashion Island, Newport Beach. 4,539 people who match this operator's customers, which is the figure that goes in front of the landlord and the lender.

Change who counts and every number moves.
Who counts

Define your customer once

Set the ages you serve, the income it takes to afford you, and whatever else keeps showing up in your books. Every number in the product follows it.

Competition

See who is already there

Every competitor inside the ring, counted by what a business does rather than what it's put on the sign, with the counting rule written out under the total.

Ninety-four inside three miles of one address.
Your customers

Put your own customers on the map

Hexmark reads an ID and a zip from the system you're already keeping them in, then draws every area that sends you business against every location you run.

Metro Phoenix in Hexmark, with customer counts by zip drawn as orange points sized by volume over the demand surface, and the chain's eight locations marked in black
Every zip that sends this chain business, against the eight sites it runs there.
Your locations

Rank what you run against what you're weighing

Every open location and every pipeline site in one table, ranked by the people who match your customers, with how much each shares with the rest and how many competitors it faces.

Overlap

See what a new site takes

Pick a location and Hexmark draws the areas it already pulls from. Open inside that fan and you're moving revenue rather than adding it.

Shortlist and compare

Keep the places still in the running together

Save a site from a search or from Find sites and it lines up beside the others, against one of your open locations.

Know if you can trade there
