Category decides the location

Location is always followed by the format you are going to open your restaurant. For example, if a brand is planning to open a fine dining restaurant, the clientele will be the high income bracket people or the celebrities, the right location will be high street as these classes wouldn’t prefer to walk inside a mall to be at the restaurant. On the other hand, a fast food or a casual dine restaurant chain is best suitable at mall as it targets the young and fast growing middle class crowd.

The clientele attracted by malls and stand alone properties are entirely different. Malls have a significant advantage of spacious car park facilities, but a disadvantage of lesser footfalls during weekdays. However, high streets have moderate business across the week and the rentals are comparatively higher than malls.

However, the choice between a high street and a mall is highly dependent on the concept.
