Assuming that the store space can’t be subleased, what recommendation would you make to the management of Superior Markets, Inc.? Disregard requirement 2. Assume that if the North Store were closed, at least one-fourth of its sales would transfer to the East Store, due to strong customer loyalty to Superior Markets.
