Market Study Predicts a Bright Future for Elgin!

The Shared Harvest Cooperative Board hired G2G Research to write a Market Study for an evaluation of sites and a sales forecast analysis.

Key Findings:
  • The co-op store will serve a moderate-sized trade area in terms of geography that includes Elgin, South Elgin, East Dundee, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, Carpentersville, and St. Charles.
  • The trade area for the proposed food co-op contains a relatively high population base of 178,100 persons (Versus the Co-op database store average of 98,000 persons
  • The competitive environment to be faced by the proposed co-op is relatively weak.
  • Based on the population, demographic composition, and competitive environment of the Elgin market area, it appears that there is sufficient sales potential to support a co-op food store.
