If they want to open 12-15 centres, these are the cities I would look for • them

attract quite a few tourist, and, for the most part, have the so-

New York City, New York
San Fransisco, California
Los Angeles, California
Miami, Florida
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Dallas, Texas
Houston, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
Atlanta, Georgia
Las Vegas, Nevada
Seattle, Washington
Denver, Colorado
Chicago, Illinois
New Orleans, Louisiana
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (assuming they are planning store in Canada, which • I

Detroit has Trappers Alley Marketplace/Casino).

Washington/Baltimore would work well for a location. And I am not sure here,
but I don't Detroit is one of the 8 largest, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale is (Miami-Ft.
Lauderdale has about 4.2 million people, and I know Detroit in itself has 1.08
million or so), and I also think Houston is larger than either.
