NUMBER OF SALE POINTS PER TYPE OF SHOPPING AREA (IN %)

Locatus divides the shopping areas into 4 main types. A Central shopping area is the
main shopping area of a place. In addition, a place of residence may have one or more
Supporting Shop Areas. Furthermore, large-scale concentrations (5 or more retail
outlets with an average retail floor area per store of at least 500 m²) and
special shopping areas (for example Schiphol or Outlet Centers) are combined in the
Other category. Finally, all sales points outside these shopping areas fall under the
Distributed Shopping category.
Locatus field workers annually check/inventory all sales points within a shopping
area.

include vacancy. Netherlands, this was compensated for a long time by growth in the catering sector (non-retail). But even there the limit

coming years.
