Using Data to Inform Decision Making for Rural Grocery Stores

This DSPG project aimed to develop a tool to provide its users with information on opening, inheriting, and operating a grocery store in their preferred rural location. The DSPGGrocery package, which hosts the calculations for the project, is hosted on an R Shiny application to perform dynamic calculations based on user-given input to estimate revenues and costs for opening a grocery store in a particular location.
