To situate more outlets close to institutions where people spend most of their time.

Not all participants very truthful in their responses.

Conclusion: Report Insight The most popular outlets are the most bought from , which means the most of the population spends there. Popularity will then translate to Market share.

The outlets are mostly visited by consumers who buy once a week or four times a month, By consumers who spend an average of R150 once-off and an average of R950 per-month (51.85% would do that because the mean average is very significantly close to the monthly provincial/national average)

And most of the consumers would be more relatable to the reason or factor of not having enough time to prepare food.
