How to pick a location/what to look for?

What criteria should be look for?.

@Abou C. There is a lot that goes into making these decisions to get them right and start on a solid path. It would take a long time to run through everything typing or even face to face at lunch or dinner, likely several meetings. Do some searching on here, get a couple books, read and research these types of things and get a grasp on what you are about to do etc etc. It's not as simple as not knowing and someone saying the corner of A and B streets is good, buy there. You need to be informed and familiar with your target market. I think you might not be ready yet, add some additional information to your tool belt and you will be able to ask more pointed questions for better responses!
Goof luck on your journey!
