Answer - Place, distribution, channel, or intermediary.

Evaluation of the three options:
- Commerce Town has very few houses. Most of the people that visit it are working. However this could be an advantage if people went shopping during their lunch or after work. There is a competitor in the locality. The future will see a new low cost housing, so there is potential for the long-term.
- If Floor-Mart were to locate here there would be no competition. The problem with this location is the lack of inhabitants. With Poshbury being so exclusive, further building is unlikely.
- The final location is has a large population. It is also on the main route between Newtwon and the growing Friesner Airport. People could shop on their return from work since Floor-Mart is open for 24 hours every day.
Option 3 is the preferred option, followed closely by option 1. How did you get on?
