Take the UPS Store....

When I search, this is the closest UPS Store to 27516. I think there is a package store of some sort at Cole Park Plaza? So think about it. Do we need a UPS Store in Obey Creek? Do we need a facility like Strays in Southern Village that seems to accept packages, etc. destined to be carried by multiple carriers? What exactly is our "need" when it comes to shipping and related services? Can we check that one off and say that we have no outstanding needs? Or is there something more that we are not getting?
I think we should do this for everything that people - as the result of a survey within the 2 mile radius circle - say they need and want in their lives. Where do they go now for those needs and is the quality/price/availability measure likely to send them to Obey Creek to fulfill these needs more quickly, happily, etc?
Another example is a fitness club. We have one in Southern Village. What are the unmet needs around that club? The next nearest is at Cole Park Plaza; it has a pool. If there is a need for a bigger or better fitness facility closer at hand, what are the optional ways that need can be satisfied?
Etc.
