EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objective of this report is to update the original market survey #LDDC101 dated March
2013 for the purpose of assessing feasibility of and providing sales forecasts for new plans for
developing retail food service in the Downtown Louisville market.
Delineated primary trade area remains the same as with the original survey: 3-miles east/west
and 2-miles north/south; market potential is a mix of residential and daytime business sectors.

Sites and projected store opening:


NuLu Site 1000, opening 18-months out, September 2015.
Cordish Site 2000, opening 24-months out; March 2016.

NuLu Site 1000, 724 E. Market Street.

Location: Downtowns east end, NuLu arts and entertainment district. The
property measures about 100 wide x 200 deep; 0.46 acre. It backs up to an
alley for additional access and room for delivery.

Proposed development: two-story complex; 4,000 sf at ground level for


grocery; second floor office lease area for contribution to return on real estate
investment. Assumption: total grocery area is contained at ground level.
However, there is option to expand the 4,000 sf total area via housing some store
elements at the second floor (e.g., offices, break room, storage, prep, catering
and caf whether indoor or rooftop).

Proposed grocer: Pauls Fruit Market, an


established specialty retailer with five stores in the
Louisville Metro. Produce is lead feature
including floral & gifts and seasonal nursery. The
format also features service deli with custommade sandwiches (Boars Head products) and
store-made salads/entrees. It provides
convenience variety center store grocery, dairy
and frozen food, and subleased area for a Burgers service butcher shop.
Projected store: described above and tailored to the NuLu market and site; optimized
prepared foods, catering, and caf/ patio seating. The small site limits parking and
nursery area. Upside via use of second floor space.

Pauls as a small specialty store would provide limited grocery and more so fresh
grocery fare to the immediate convenience area and would have potential to develop
business beyond the trade area east end. Pauls specialties also attract a share of the
substantial daytime and transient trade in this market including the hospital district,
industrial businesses and entertainment corridor along Market and Main.

Cordish Site 2000

See Courier Journal March 7, 2014 article on this development, on page ___.

Location: planned redevelopment block between MLK Blvd. and Liberty Street, and
2nd and 3rd Streets. At the heart of downtown, with close proximity to 4th Street Live
and KFC Yum! Convention Center.

Proposed development: Cordish Co., owner operator of 4th Street Live,


propose a $261m mixed-use plan with a 600-room hotel and a 200-unit
apartment complex with first floor retail anchored by a specialty grocery store.

Proposed grocer: Cosentinos, a Kansas City, MO retailer with portfolio of


(2) Market, (3) Sun Fresh, (3) Apple and (17) Price Chopper
supermarkets. Serviced by Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG)
headquartered in Kansas City and with a wholesale division in Nashville.

Keith Wicks & Associates

Projected store: Cosentinos operates a 33,000 sf


Market format in similar situation in Downtown
Kansas City. That store is a full-service supermarket
with emphasized prepared food service for the
downtown market. Site 1000 is projected as a scale
down version, 25,000 sf.

Cosentinos Site 2000 is 0.9 mile west of NuLu Site 1000. These sites have minor
interaction with the proposed difference in store size and retail models, and with citing
the strong densities with the daytime trade in each area.
Site 2000 is exposed to a broader dynamic of traffic and business sectors which
support the larger store. The projected Cosentinos Market is a scaled down version of
the Kansas City downtown retail model. That store size is assumed with scaled down
grocery area to allow for emphasize prepared foods area, yet hold a full-service
grocery set. Ground floor caf seating would seem to be sacrificed in this store size
but its assumed that there will be other options for on premise dining via mezzanine
seating area or with seating in common areas of the associate retail complex.
The facility will have
excellent sight lines at the
southeast corner of the
property facing traffic at the
wider, 2nd Street. Business
impression will depend on
supportive presentation of
the storefront and business
imagery to help develop
initial market awareness as
well as maintain impression
in the congested downtown
market, especially citing
transient trade.
Its also assumed that larger grocery orders will have support of carry out service or a
cart-escalator or parcel pick-up service with the onsite structured parking.
A typical new supermarket will grow its sales base through three years of business
maturation, and the uniqueness of Cosentinos as a new retailer in the Louisville Metro
market can develop extended reach and sales into second and third years of operation
(see three year forecast in the Conclusion section). First year business from
residential sectors could be lean as the market adapts to the new retail food location.
This location has first year sales development advantage with walking trade. It will rely
on the proposed structured parking with 800 stalls on site, which is an established
culture with the downtown market.

Sales forecast information

This markets supermarket competitive structure is updated from that assessed


with the original field study. It is updated with the projected population trend and
2% annual inflation of consumer expenditures.
o One competitor change is included in all forecasted scenarios: Kroger
#348 at 2nd and Breckenridge has been upgraded with a $500k
investment. Store size remains the same but equipment was replaced as
needed, new dcor added and natural and organic products were
expanded presumably for that areas mix of students and seniors.

The sales model is with basis of trade area residents and supermarket
expenditures. Sales models are used first to assess current market competitive
structure and then to forecast sales for changes as with Sites 1000 and 2000.
Keep in mind that a central market positioned competitor or site is typically
assessed with 70-95% of its sales base coming from the primary resident trade
areathis percent of total sales is referred to as the Draw factor.
Sites 1000 and 2000 will each have low Draw factors because of this markets
convenience area daytime demand (dining and going home needs with workers,
businesses, visitors). Daytime demand is a substantial factor with this market,
noting that consumer food-away-from-home expenditures are close (about 10%
less) than food-at-home expenditures. Downtown daytime workers are estimated
to have about 20-30% of food-away expenditure available for daytime dining
needs, which raises additional grocery demand for going home needs.
Cosentinos Market Site 2000 is exposed to 50,000 to 100,000 daytime workers
in the range of 0.5 to 1-mile of Site 100, and 2,400 to 4,500 businesses in that
range. This doesnt account for hotel guests and visitors. The demographic
comparison of Site 2000 to that for Cosentinos Downtown Kansas City store
indicates that Site 2000 is exposed to less household income and a greater
share of lower income households, but conversely the Louisville market presents
an even stronger daytime demand. Louisville market growth is a factor that
would seem to favor Site 2000, comparatively, too.

Pauls Fruit Market Site 1000 is exposed to 20,000 to 75,000 daytime workers
and 900 to 2,500 businesses in that range.
Daytime potential is further highlighted with downtowns substantial office,
entertainment and health care sectors.
The baseline sales model defines resident expenditure potential for:
o Retail food (grocery).
o Beer.
Consumer pharmacy expenditures are not included in this market because
neither proposed retailer for Site 100 and 200 offer the service. The added sales
for competitors with that service shift into outside Draw business.
Wine & spirits expenditures are not included in this market because Kentucky
does not allow those sales in a supermarket. The issue has been actively
lobbied but the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in January 2014 upheld the 1938 law.
Directly related downtown growth
In proximity of Cordish Site 100:
o ___ new hotel rooms under construction.
o ____ new apartments planned.
o $645m expansion plan for KFC Yum! Convention Center. This increases
the centers ability to contend for 74% of convention demand to over 90%
of that demand. This is a key catalyst for the in-process and planned
growth of downtowns hotel and entertainment sectors.
o _____ sf of new, mixed-use office space.

In proximity of NuLu Site 1000:


o Mainstreet Streetscape to improve presentation of the area between NuLu
and downtown.
o Close proximity to the university biotech district west of the freeway.
o Planned hotel across Mainstreet from Site 1000.

The subject sites are judged to draw a majority of their respective sales base
from within this market including residential and daytime business sectors. They
additionally can draw secondary business from residential sectors beyond this
trade area and more so contiguous to the primary trade area, including low
income sectors to the west.

Conclusion
The following forecasts are reasonably achievable sales goals. The forecasts would likely be
altered upon further information for the proposed site developments and retail models. There
more so is upside to the forecasts as opposed to downside performance issues, given this
Downtowns substantial development plans and proposals, and citing opportunity with the
substantial daytime trade.
Scenario 1 -- Pauls NuLu Site 1000 open 3rd Qtr. 2015 the limited variety specialty store is
projected accordingly in competitive ranking (sales model Image).
Despite that conservative measure the lack of convenient grocery service in this area raises
reasonably this scenarios grocery potential is just over $6/sf at $25.5k. Prepared foods
attraction to the daytime sector increases Pauls potential about 20-points for the total forecast
of just of $35k per week. Store hours are assumed similar to Pauls other stores; 8-7 daily. The
following is a first-pass at breaking down the forecast by retail element.

Notes regarding Pauls upside options and changes to the assumed retail model
1. Pauls doesnt sell beer but which can be considered for this uptrend market especially if
Bergers sales goal isnt feasible thereby replacing that space with a beer department.
2. If Burgers sales goal isnt feasible then its assumed that this store would instead offer
frozen, fresh meat product (limited variety).
3. Frozen food sales goal is very conservative but could become much more significant
with a Pauls signature, frozen product program (i.e., oven-ready products).
4. Prepared foods business potential benefits with caf seating however that is developed
with indoor and patio options.
5. Pauls is a known retailer in the metro and more specifically at the metros east side,
and NuLu is an emerging and spotlighted commercial district, but this is a start-up
convenience retail location and it will rely on strong initial marketing for convenience
trade and drawing business from the neighboring communities of Clifton and Highlands.

Scenario 2 Cosentinos Cordish Site 2000 opens 1st Qtr. 2016 the mixed-use plan reportedly
will take up to three years to develop so the actual timeline to Cosentinos Market opening
could extend out another twelve months. This survey projects an optimistic timeline of 24months to opening which in effect makes the forecast conservative regarding inflation and
market growth in that additional time.
Site 2000 is a startup, convenience retail location which along with an unknown retailer can
cause a lean first year performance and extended timeline for business development, over the
typical supermarket three year timeline to business maturation in a new location.
However, Downtown Louisvilles business sectors density along with the proposed dynamic of
the Cordish plan and Cosentinos retail expertise is judged to develop good short-term market
awareness and sales achievement.
Another supportive point of Scenario 2s potential is Downtowns substantial in-process,
planned and proposed major development projects. Daytime demand is already an exceptional
business sector with impressive planned growth surrounding this site.
Downtowns housing units are projected to double in this decade including the 200 planned
apartments at Site 2000. Plans and logistics to this site are to be determined yet make this
market position a long-term growth opportunity. And Site 2000 is assumed to be connected to
Downtowns skywalk system.

Notes regarding Cosentinos upside options and changes to the assumed retail model
1. This forecast is very dependent on details of the plan with regard to the scaled down
model, prepared foods formatting, site presentations and shopping support factors. Its
judged to be a fair forecast more so with upside as opposed to downside issues.
2. Recommending Cosentinos leverage Italian and International themes in variety,
features and signatures with that this metro has no other specialty grocer of that
character, which strengthens potential for extended reach; a difference-maker.
3. A branded coffee bar is assumed even though the KC store doesnt appear to have one.
But this is fitting for this market and as a replacement feature with KY not allowing a
liquor lounge as the KC store features.
4. Catering is add-on sales to this forecast due to the KC store offering a full-service
program which needs to be defined for this situation.

Scenario 3 Two-stores opened 1st Qtr. 2016


Opening both locations makes sense for two reasons:
1. Two stores bring a convenient network of retail food service for the broad Downtown
market in support of the existing and planned business sectors including housing.
2. The two retail models are each significant and unique anchors for their respective
business settings.

TWO-STORES OPENED 1ST QTR 2016


Scenario
1 Pauls NuLu
Site 1000
2 Cosentinos
Cordish Site 2000

Store Size
4,000 sf

Sales Forecast
$30,654

$/SF Productivity
$7.66

Market Share
1.18%

25,000 sf

$229,428

$9.18

9.56%

The downside to opening stores in both locations is that the sites are 0.9 mile apart so that
their convenience trade areas do overlap. The effect has minor impact on Cosentinos sales
forecast but does lower Pauls forecast about -10% more so taking grocery potential.
The two-store strategy further emphasizes the importance of prepared foods strategy for Pauls
in the NuLu situation, which can minimize if not erase that impact. For example, in this
scenario Bergers Meats isnt recommended against Cosentinos meat services so that space
could be replaced with prepared foods and related services.

(Kansas City store opening review) Cosentinos Market Downtown


WRITT EN BY: M ARY BLO CH - JU N 0112

If you havent already explored Cosentinos Market downtown, treat


yourself to the experience. Regardless of whether you live or work
downtown, its worth the drive. A grocery store was the missing link
to entice people to live downtown, and Cosentinos (the same family
that brought us the Brookside Market) really did it right.

Among other features, it has a salad bar that doesnt quit, made-to-order
sandwiches, a coffee bar with Kansas Citys own Roasterie, pizza and
pasta, a bakery and pre-prepared foods for carry-out. And then there is
the sushi bar by Kaiyo. Kaiyo is my favorite sushi restaurant in Kansas
City, and David Loo travels from his Leawood outpost to prepare sushi
at lunchtime for downtowners who stop in. If youre lucky, there will be
leftovers in the display case to take home for dinner.

If youre a beer lover, youll be thrilled with the vast selection of


brews from around the country and world. There are very fine wine

labels to choose from, tooworthy of a picnic or romantic dinner.


If youd rather eat your meal in the store, theres tons of table seating (within store and on 2 nd level).

Many people think parking is a problem. Far from it. Drive into the parking garage off Main, just north of
13th St. Theres a door from the garage into a corridor that leads to the grocery store. The store will validate
your parking ticket and an elevator makes it easy to get your cart full of groceries to the car. Piece of cake.

Omni, Cordish partner with Kentucky,


Louisville on $261 million downtown hotel,
grocery store
Mar. 7, 2014 |

The Courier-Journal, Written by Sheldon S. Shafer

Downtown hotel
A city block in the heart of Louisvilles downtown will see a 600-room luxury hotel, a major grocery
store, retail stores and 200 apartments all part of a $261 million project announced Thursday.
Louisville and Kentucky are joining with Omni Hotels & Resorts and the Cordish Co., which runs 4th
Street Live!, to build the massive project within three years on the Louisville Water Co. block owned
by the city and bounded by Second, Third and Liberty streets and Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
The projects cost will be split between the public and private partners, with $105 million from Omni,
$30 million from Cordish and $126 million from the city and state, according to Gov. Steve Beshear and
Mayor Greg Fischer, who were joined Thursday by Nick Benjamin, Cordishs director of development,
and by Mike Garcia, Omni CFO and senior vice president of development.
This project is a major infusion in our downtown and to the citys entire economy, Fischer said.
It will create jobs, both temporary construction positions and permanent jobs, and it will boost our
convention and tourism industry as Omni provides a new level of luxury hotel.
Each parties obligations include:
Omni will build the hotel, which will be adjacent to 200 apartments that Cordish will develop.
The state will contribute $90.5 million through tax rebates.
The city will contribute $35.5 million. That includes the $17 million value of the land, which the city
purchased years ago, and another $17 million the city will spend to construct a parking garage that will
be paid for with Parking Authority bonds . The city also will provide $1.5 million for contingencies.
A financing district will be created within the block and part of an adjoining block, with a portion of the
new tax revenue helping to finance the development.
The block holds several historic buildings, including the Morrissey Parking Garage, the Odd Fellows Hall,
the Falls City Theatre Equipment building and the former Louisville Water Co. building. Garcia said Omni
is sensitive to preservation issues.

Steve Rowland, the citys chief finance officer, said the city will issue $104 million in bonds next year
likely with a 30-year term to provide the funds to build the project. Although the city will guarantee
the bonds, Rowland said he is confident that the project will generate enough tax revenue to cover the
debt.
The development will be among the largest projects under construction in the region. Construction is
anticipated to begin in 2015, with the entire project expected to open no later than 2017.
This investment will be a catalyst for more convention activity, while bringing more out-of-state visitors
to Kentucky, said Beshear. Fischer called it a catalyst for Louisvilles downtown revitalization.
Fischer said he had been negotiating the deal for more than a year, which is expected to create 1,350
construction jobs and 350 permanent positions.
Fischer said he is particularly pleased that downtown Louisville will get a new grocery store. Citizens
and visitors have told us for years that a grocery was the biggest missing component to downtown,
Fischer said.
The Omni Louisville Hotel will be the fourth four-diamond, luxury hotel in the area, and will feature 600
guestrooms and suites, 70,000 square feet of meeting space, a spa, fitness center, two full-service
restaurants, rooftop pool-side caf, street level retail venue and a lobby lounge, according to the plans.
It will be the companys first property in Kentucky.
The project will also include 44,000 square feet of retail, including a full-service, 30,000-square-foot
downtown grocery store. Those facilities will be developed by Cordish; the grocery operator has not
been signed, officials said.
An 850-space parking garage will be built to service the hotel, residential and retail/grocery and will be
developed by the Parking Authority of River City.
Metro Council President Jim King, D-10th District, said the council must approve the bond issue and the
creation of the tax district. But he expressed high confidence in Cordish, calling the development plans
a home run.
Fischer also praised Cordish, saying the company stepped up, when no one else would. Cordish has
been criticized in the past by some Metro Council members, who argued that the city had given the
company sweetheart deals that it hasnt extended to other private businesses.
The public sectors assistance is consistent with comparable developments in other major cities, officials
said.

Louisville has more than 4,000 hotel rooms in the downtown area, around 2,300 of which are linked by
the elevated walkway system with the Kentucky International Convention Center and the new KFC Yum!
Center.
Other hotels with a total of about 800 rooms in or near downtown are on the drawing board. And
several large suburban hotels are also in sight, including a long-planned 500-room luxury hotel on
Phillips Lane near Gate 1 to the Kentucky Exposition Center.
But officials said the Omni is needed. Fischer said the Omni will offer rooms to the more than one
million tourists expected to visit the Bourbon Trail this year.
And Karen Williams, acting CEO of the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau, called the Omni a game
changer in Louisvilles chances of landing some of the major trade shows.
Linda Edwards, vice president of sales and marketing for the Kentucky State Fair Board, a primary local
convention recruiter, said another major hotel would help bring in new business, especially larger
conventions and groups considering use of both the Yum! Center and KICC, which may soon be in line
for a $175 million expansion and renovation.
Additional hotel rooms downtown, for instance, Edwards said, would save groups the cost of having to
shuttle delegates in from suburban properties.
The Dallas-based Omni has about 40 U.S. hotels, including ones in Nashville, Indianapolis and St. Louis.
Omni classifies about a dozen of the sites as resort properties.
