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,

Microsoft recently announced the opening of multiple new pop-up stores in addition to their planned store growth. We know of 11 stores about to open and expect at least 20 by year-end, but keep waiting for a larger push from Microsoft. This may or may not come. The retailer still carries more than 4,600 company-operated stores in the U.S. and Mexico, and company executives have responded skeptically to analysts suggestions that the retailer could trim its core footprint, saying the list of underperforming locations is too long to cull selectively. That being said, large numbers of closures ahead are almost a given. Though there will be a few new stores from franchisees, the chain will close far more locations than it opens over the next couple of years and its long-term outlook remains very cloudy at best (growth numbers here are gross).

In 2012, the Company completed 19 store expansions and remodels, two stores in Pensacola FL were combined into a completely renovated store and one store was closed. Although the Company operates 93 stores that exceed 100,000 square feet, the majority of its stores range in size from 60,000 to 100,000 square feet.

5 1 Macys on Thursday announced what it described as normal-course adjustments to its portfolio of Macys and Bloomingdales stores that include shuttering six locations (all in early spring 2013) and opening nine others. Closures will likely outpace openings this year or will net zero growth. Company plans on focusing on its smaller doors, which number about 170 to 180 units according to management (approximately 65% of the total store base). Included in this goal is a renewed focus on localizing buying capabilities and merchandise selection. The company continues to struggle with a large debt load which will mean limited growth for now.

They continue to grow aggressively, though they are still motivated by opportunistic deals--the likes of National which could greatly impact growth numbers. However, with store closures expected from mall anchors like Sears and JCP this year, we could easily see the growth numbers listed here changing. Stores average 57,600 square feet. No additional store openings are planned for fiscal 2012; however, the Company expects to add at least nine new locations in fiscal 2013 and is targeting ten new store National openings for fiscal 2014.

JCP is still reeling from a move to reinvent itself that revitalized the look of their stores, yet somehow alienated their core customer before their strategy was able to pay off in reaching a younger demographic. They are reverting to many of the old pricing policies that were popular with their old-line customers and have enough resources that they should be able to right the ship. However, in the meantime, we anticipate that there will be more store closures than openings this year (totals listed here are gross only). They usually need between 5.0 and 10.0 acres of land for new stores and ganerally prefer to purchase. "Department store chain Kohls Corp. continues to shift the majority of its expansion efforts to its e-commerce channel amid slowing comparable store sales.

Growth for now is focused on the Saks Off Fifth banner, the chain's off-price apparel retailer who usually (though not always) prefers outlet malls. Among the most recent new openings is a store in Chandler AZ. During 2012, the Company opened five new OFF 5TH stores and closed three Saks Fifth Avenue stores. The Company estimates that fiscal 2013 capital expenditures will be approximately National $140.0 million to $150.0 million. The Company plans to open seven new OFF 5TH stores, renovate four others and close at least two full-line stores. The Company has closed 11 full-line stores since fiscal 2007. Sears continues to deal with severe economic woes and an uncertain outlook. More closures are guaranteed--and the good news is that the company has done a lot to free up liquidity in recent months. The bad news is it still has a large overhang of debt coming due over the next couple of years that it may have problems refinancing. Most analysts feel a stripped down version of the chain, focusing on their strengths (tools & appliances) could succeed--the question is whether they have the capital, time or ability to maneuver themselves into that spot.

The UPS Store Main Street franchise model is designed to support franchisee expansion into small town and rural communities with low populations. The new program has a reduced franchise fee, lower cost of entry and adds operational flexibility to franchise owners. The UPS Store is offering a franchise model to better serve all local business owners with services that are typically only found in larger cities. They plan to sign on 15 Main Street locations in 2013, depending on the contract timeline will depend on official opening date. The design requirements have been scaled down to help limit the build out cost. The recommended footprint for this concept is about 1,000 sf., compared to a traditional model that is about 1,500 sf. We also see them growing their traditional concept as well--totals here are our estimate considering both.

10 50 75 The recent merger of these two office supplies players will likely escalate the number of closures of existing stores--meanwhile, the main real estate move that they are making is in downsizing their footprint from one in the 20,000 to 30,000 SF range to stores closer to the 10,000 square foot range. It is unclear, however, at the time of printing, how many relocations, downsizings or new stores may open. The only certainty is that they will be returning much more space to the market (we estimate it could be as much as three million sf in 2013) than they will be taking--however, they will certainly be active. Staples continues to downsize its stores from 25k+ to closer to 15k sf in newer locations. Relocations will account for a lot of this year's new store growth as leases expire and they move stores into smaller buildings. They will also likely close more stores than they open as the chain is actively shuttering underperformers as leases expire.

4 2 Target's new stores this year will be a mix of their urban concept CityTarget, which can go as small as 75,000 square feet, and their traditional larger format of 125,000 sf+.
