This model simulates local businesses competing for customers based on location and price. This is based on the original Hotelling model which analyzed the optimal locations of businesses along a one-dimensional line. By extending this model and incorporating real-life spatial data, we could predict which location it would be most profitable for a business to open.

This model uses real-world vacant storefront data from Cambridge, MA as context and is adapted from a NetLogo model demonstrating Hotelling's Law.
