The study area and the purpose of this study was to find the best location for a new Wal-Mart store in Washtenaw County, Michigan, USA. Population, distance from existing stores, land uses, and slope were factors that considered in this research. Moreover, these factors weighted, based on their importance.

Based on the assumption; the results indicated that the optimal location should be in the northwest part of the city of Ann Arbor, around the highway.
