How Infrastructure Changes Impact Retail Site Selection and Sales

Infrastructure development is a double-edged sword for retailers. A new road expansion can increase traffic and improve accessibility, bringing more customers to a retail site. Conversely, road closures, detours, and changes in traffic flow can disrupt business, causing sales declines and long-term revenue losses. Understanding how infrastructure changes impact retail site selection and monitoring their effects on sales is critical for protecting business investments and ensuring profitability. With Infrastructure+, retailers can proactively track infrastructure developments, flag at-risk locations, and even recover lost revenue from government agencies.

How Infrastructure Affects Retail Site Selection

Choosing the right retail location is more than just finding a high-traffic area. Retailers need to consider long-term infrastructure plans that could impact accessibility. Will a planned highway expansion increase visibility and foot traffic? Will a road closure make it harder for customers to reach your store? Could a new intersection change the way consumers move through the area? These are the kinds of questions retailers must answer when selecting sites.

The Risks of Infrastructure Disruptions on Retail Sales

Once a retail site is operational, unexpected infrastructure projects can have a major impact on sales. A road closure or detour might divert customers away from your location. Long-term construction could reduce accessibility, causing a drop in foot traffic and overall sales. Retailers need to monitor infrastructure changes in real time to flag locations at risk of revenue loss and adjust business strategies accordingly. Infrastructure+ helps retailers identify problem areas before they become critical, allowing for proactive decision-making. Don’t let infrastructure surprises hurt your bottom line—track potential risks now.

Recovering Lost Revenue from Government Agencies

Many retailers don’t realize that they may be eligible for financial compensation when infrastructure projects negatively impact their business. Cities, counties, and state governments often have programs to reimburse businesses for lost revenue due to road closures, utility disruptions, or long-term construction projects. However, without proper documentation and monitoring, retailers may miss the opportunity to file claims and recover lost sales. Infrastructure+ helps businesses track and document infrastructure changes, providing the data needed to support compensation claims.
