How do I run cannibalisation analysis for a new store
Cannibalisation analysis shows impact of opening a new store on existing stores.
Why should you run cannibalisation analysis?
Cannibalisation analysis helps you understand how opening a new store will impact your existing stores.
- It shows which stores lose revenue or demand
- It helps avoid overlapping catchments and internal competition
- It supports better network expansion decisions
In TargomoLOOP, this is called Opening simulation.
Step 1: Add datasets with cannibalised results
Before running the simulation, you need to configure your datasets to calculate cannibalisation.
- Go to Settings
- Click on Custom analysis
- Click on Add data
- Select the dataset you want to use (e.g., revenue, footfall, score)
- Select the catchment
- Set the cannibalisation behaviour
- Select “Add cannibalised results”
- Click Add dataset
This ensures the platform calculates how values shift when a new store is introduced.
Step 2: Run opening simulation (cannibalisation analysis)
- Select a potential location on the map
- Click on the 3 dots menu
- Click on Opening analysis
What you will see
- A list of existing stores impacted by the new location
- The change in performance (e.g., revenue drop or gain)
- How demand is redistributed across your network
