Open where your business belongs.
At Woodway Collective, we help franchise owners make location decisions with precision and conviction—merging data science with on-the-ground insight. From first market entry to multi-unit expansion, our process blends analytics, experience, and advisory depth to turn complex real estate choices into confident investments.
Our work starts with understanding people, not parcels.
We study where your customers live, work, and spend. We map their patterns—traffic, income, lifestyles—and then identify sites that naturally connect your brand to their daily flow. It’s a process that balances market data with common sense, analytics with intuition, and growth with integrity.
We call it the science of franchise location success.
Our Approach
-
Define Success Together
We clarify your brand’s goals, target economics, spacing rules, and customer profile so every site fits both the franchisor’s standards and your long-term financial plan.
-
Model Demand Before Dirt
We build customer and trade-area models that highlight where opportunity truly lives, long before we start touring sites.
-
Build the Shortlist
We blend data and local knowledge to identify the most promising locations, scoring each against visibility, traffic, access, anchors, and co-tenancy.
-
Tour & Evaluate
We walk sites alongside you and your franchisor, weighing not just price per square foot but potential per customer. Every site receives a clear, comparable scorecard.
-
Negotiate Like Owners
We advocate for you through every LOI and lease—securing the terms, TI packages, and protections that strengthen your unit economics.
-
Support Through Build-Out
We stay connected as you move into design, construction, and opening—coordinating with landlords, architects, and franchisors to keep your project on time and on budget.
-
Learn, Refine, Repeat
Post-opening, we review performance versus forecast, helping you sharpen your model for the next location.
What Sets Woodway Apart
What We Deliver
We Start with the Customer
Most firms begin with maps. We begin with people—analyzing who your ideal customer is, where they are, and what drives their decisions. Only then do we match the market to the map.
We Pair Data with Experience
Our tools are modern, but our instincts are earned. Each partner has operated or advised franchise businesses firsthand, giving us perspective that no algorithm can replicate.
We Operate with Integrity
We see every deal as a long-term relationship, not a short-term transaction. The right site should grow with you—sustainably, profitably, and in alignment with your brand values.
