Would love to spend 1-2 hrs over lunch or dinner with liquor store owners in the MN/WI area.

(Omaha, NE)I want to work through a specific part of town block by block, and I want to find some assistance in portions of the 5 steps below, and help maintaining a master of results:1) Finding leads (Driving for dollars via google street view, craigslist for rent, listsource, MLS, other)2) Evaluating Leads (Filtering and storing, does it match my criteria?)

It's either a multi unit building or a liquor store to plan for in the next 2 yrs.

I asked local carpet store.

The tenants get points and rewards towards stores and shops by paying rent on time, you have updates on everything, smart system. 

Does anybody know of any resources where I can research which submarkets major store chains are closing and opening stores at?

It's been a struggle, a challenge, a never ending web of confusion.

Any particular online website or hardware store you prefer?

Looking for good options with reasonable pricing other than the usual big box stores.
