Grocery Store Baseline Survey
Here are a few tips for filling out the baseline survey for grocery stores:
- Gross Floor Area should include all space within the building(s), including the sales floor, offices, storage areas, kitchens, staff break rooms, and stairwells.
- Properties that are primarily grocery/supermarket, but also include some non-food retail (e.g. a grocery store that has aisles stocked with clothing, books and/or novelty items) should not break out these retail spaces a separate use type.
- Do not break out office space, break rooms, or other spaces typically found in retail stores. They should be included in the retail space square footage.
This glossary defines the terms in more detail, if needed.
