The top 10 neighbors for BJ's Restaurants span six different categories and ten different subcategories, with no two neighbors sharing the same kind — a composition that reflects a genuinely diffuse audience shape rather than a tight peer cluster.
Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; a score near 0.87 indicates strong structural overlap regardless of what the two entities actually are. Movies & Theaters leads at 0.87, followed by Best Buy at 0.86 and Menchie's at 0.86 — an electronics retailer and a frozen yogurt chain sitting within a point of each other. Costco Pharmacy (0.86) and Target (0.85) round out the top five, pulling in pharmacy retail and big-box alongside the entertainment and food entries. Further down, Victoria's Secret (0.85), Jason's Deli (0.85), Lidl (0.84), PacSun (0.84), and Entertainment Centers (0.84) complete a set that touches apparel, fast casual, grocery, and leisure — all within a narrow 0.04-point band. Notably, no other Casual Dining entity appears in the top 10; BJ's Restaurants' nearest audience neighbors are drawn entirely from outside its own subcategory.
The flat, cross-category spread suggests an audience whose shape is defined less by restaurant-going behavior than by a broader pattern of suburban retail and family entertainment consumption.
