Hi Mark, You didn't mention having Esri's Business Analyst, but that is exactly what that product/extension is used for.  It has tools to help define the site trade areas and determine if any are canabalizing each other. Then there are tools to rank potential sites.  You have 50 potential sites, rank them in order based on attributes of your best performing sites.  I teach the two day Business Analyst class so I could go on and on. Since you may not have Business Analyst, there is a simple poor-man's technique you might try. Take your sites and create Theissen polygons, you will find the tool in ArcToolbox. It will create equal competition polygons around all the sites.   You might try this regionally instead of nationwide at first.  The polygons will form a honeycomb like pattern that looks cool.  But what you can do now is look at where 3 or 4 polygons meet.  Say you find a point where 4 polygon corners come together.  Well that spot is really far from 4 of your sites.  It could be a potential spot for a new site since it is so far from all the others. Problems though.  That spot could be in the middle of a water body or mountain range were there are no people.  However if it is in the middle of a highly populated area, then you might look at that area more  to see if it also has the demographic mix of your best customers. If you had Business Analyst you could look at consumer spending data for your site's product mix to then also see if that area is spending on your products already. And of course what about your competition and their locations. Should be interesting. Rob ... View more

Which service are you using?  And what scale would you like to zoom in to?  May be one of the other ArcGIS Online services could work better for you.  Using the one below I can zoom in to Houston and see building footprints for residential homes. http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer I hope this helps? ...
