In this article, you'll learn:

• Whether to choose a familiar market or explore a new one, considering labor costs and logistics.
• How to select employee-friendly sites with good transit, amenities, and environmental features.
• How to evaluate lease offers by balancing upfront costs, future increases, and incentives.
