Estimated total miles for trip in Pittsburgh: 101.7 miles

A pawn shop is a shop where one can trade, sell, or buy things for cheap prices.

Proposed Location: West 10th street Homestead, PA 15120-1084

The reason I feel that this is the right location to put a pawn shop is because this is a poorer community. A pawn shop can help these poor people get what they need for a price that is affordable for them. The demographics show that 14.4% of the people are below the poverty line, meaning that they are poor and are finding everyday life hard to cope with. The median household income is about $30,000 but there are also a lot of people below this amount.

An Organic/specialty Supermarket is a market where people who only eat organic or other special foods can find what they need.

Proposed location: Walnut Street Crafton, PA 15205

I feel that an Organic/specialty Supermarket would fit nicely in this location because this place is an overall middle class place. This location has a median household income of about $38,000 but 19% of the people are above that median. Therefore, they can afford it and if they do have certain needs this supermarket will help in being convenient. There are a lot of younger people who live in this area, and a lot of the vegetarians and vegans start out younger meaning that there are more chances that this supermarket will target the younger crowd.

A Robotic Engineering Firm is a place where engineers work to make high tech robots that can carry out daily tasks eliminating work.

Proposed Location: Rivers Street Sewickley, PA 15143

I feel that this Robotic Engineering Firm would be a perfect fit in Sewickley because this area is very wealthy and can afford to pay for this technology. The median household income is about $58,000. This location is also located near Neville Island which is rich with factories and plants, so this engineering firm will fit here like a puzzle. This is the perfect location due to high income, which means that people can afford this new technology and will most likely be the ones who own them.
