Virginia Tech GIS and Remote Sensing Research Symposium
By using data obtained from the City of Roanoke GIS Office and online real estate listings, we were able to pinpoint four locations within Roanoke where Trader Joe's could develop a store. We also considered proximity to I-581 a priority, and the locations we found are accessible by I-581, and each location is in a high-traffic part of the city where the store would get exposure. There are also high enough levels of income in the city for a part of the population to have the ability to shop at Trader Joe's.
