Mini-Case 14-1: Hungarian Heaven
Mike Pontya has operated a neighborhood restaurant in Cleveland for over 30 years. Mike is planning to move to Arizona because of his health, and has put the business up for sale. The restaurant, which caters to the local trade, is well known in the Hungarian community of Cleveland as having the best authentic Hungarian food in town, but it is not in a traditional restaurant district. The restaurant has parking for 10 cars. Most customers park on the street. In the past, this was not a problem as there was a great deal of walk-in business from the neighborhood. Now, however, a new four-lane highway passes by the front door of the restaurant. There is a stoplight on the corner the restaurant is on to improve access to the highway for drivers emerging from the neighborhood. The flight to the suburbs has taken a heavy toll on the neighborhood. However, the restaurant is still doing well financially.
Terry and Judy Kozma are brother and sister who share a love for cooking and a desire to be in the restaurant business. All of their relatives have encouraged them to quit their jobs and buy the restaurant. Terry and Judy were reared two blocks from the restaurant, and both worked part-time for Mike Pontya while in college.
-What site analysis criteria are relevant to Terry and Judy's evaluation of the restaurant's location?
