As researchers who are always searching for the “stories in the data,” we are proud to see the insights we uncover here in Columbus receive significant attention both across the nation (this FSR magazine article and Modern Restaurant Magazine article are two examples) and across Ohio (Columbus Business First).

We hope business leaders in the restaurant and grocery sectors, along with the communities who rely on them, are able to use these insights to more effectively plan for tomorrow. Our restaurateurs and grocers face an unprecedented challenge and will require continued and substantial support.
