    Brought to you by:

    Welcome to the third annual edition of the ChainLinks National Retailer and Restaurant Expansion Guide. As you will see, we have continued to expand our coverage of the marketplace over the past year. Last year, we covered the expansion plans for over 2,400 major national retail and restaurant chains throughout the United States. This year, we have expanded that to over 3,000 chains.

    Those are not the only changes in store for you with this years edition. We have added additional classifications for retail and restaurant concepts that we hope will make this guide much easier to navigate. This should hold particularly true for restaurants, which we have broken out into more detailed subcategories to reflect individual dining concepts like Asian, Hamburgers/Hot Dogs, Casual Dining and others.

    And we also made a couple of slight changes to our methodology. Not a major ones, but ones that we think will provide more accurate numbers in terms of what to expect from individual chains. First, lets explain our basic methodology. The information in this guide has been gathered from a wide variety of sources that we deem reputable, however, we make no claim to the accuracy of the data in this report. We gathered this data from a mix of sources; including the retail and restaurant chains themselves, the brokers and site selection specialists that represent them, third-party data sources, published media reports, quarterly reports and public statements made by company executives and reliable word on the street gathered from the retail and brokerage communities. Within that context, and with retailer plans prone to change frequently and often and the penchant of some chains towards not disclosing their plans, we do not guarantee that the data we present within this report is 100% accurate. However, we do contend that this

    is the most comprehensive and accurate report on planned and/or likely retail and restaurant real estate activity that exists in the world today.

    In a step towards making our data more accurate this year, we have instituted two changes to our process. The first is that we used to run into accuracy issues when dealing with many of the franchise driven chains in the marketplace. They would share a franchising goal, rather than a real store opening goal with us. We would see this manifest annually with a number of concepts that would share very ambitious numbers with us each year that would rarely come close to the actual number of real store openings that would occur. We made the decision this year to opt away from using those numbers if they seemed overly ambitious and plugging in our own estimates of unit count growth based upon historical performance and our own forecast of realistic growth in the year ahead. Likewise, we also made the change that we have provided our estimates for growth in some situations where direct data from the concept was not available. While these two moves wont make the metrics perfect, we do think they will go a long way for presenting a much more accurate view of what to expect in the year to come.

    With that, we are pleased to present to you our 2013 National Retail and Restaurant Expansion Guide! Enjoy,
