Overview
Little Chicken is a local fried chicken stand located in Georgetown, Kentucky. The business is succeeding, and Tom is looking to expand to other locations around Kentucky. After speaking with an agent, Tom has 15 potential locations to choose from. Tom has asked you to help him figure out which stores to consider renting. Tom believes that wherever the new stores are they will be successful. For this reason, Tom is only interested in stores within a 55-mile radius from his stand in Georgetown.
Tom has provided you with the data given to him from the agent. Little Chicken in Georgetown is located at the coordinates: 38.221379680870726, -84.5414808515602
Instructions
Using the datafile, create a map (Browse View) with the 5 closest potential stores to Little Chicken. In the final output data table, include the following:
Location of each store (location code, address, etc.)
Location points on the map (including the Georgetown stand), and
Distance in miles (Georgetown – Potential Store Location)
It was cool to learn how to use the create points, find nearest, and trade area tools under the spatial category. I feel that this was challenging but not too hard that it was impossible. Using those tools made it easier!
This challenge proved to be difficult as I hadn’t used Spatial tools before. Now I have new tools: “Create Points,” “Trade Area,” and “Find Nearest” under my belt.
