Vapor Maven (0.92) and RibCrib (0.91) sit at the top of Car Mart's neighbor set — a vape retailer and a barbecue casual-dining chain — signaling that the two-peak shape here is less about automotive adjacency and more about a specific regional consumer profile that cuts across categories.
The top 10 neighbors span a wide range of subcategories: smoking retail, casual dining, hobbies and crafts, discount stores, a bakery chain, a community bank, moving and storage, coffee, automotive maintenance, and fast casual dining. Only one neighbor — Best One Tire & Service (0.85) — shares an Automotive category with Car Mart, and its subcategory (Maintenance and Repair Services) differs from Car Mart's own Dealerships subcategory. No other dealership appears in the top 10; J.D. Byrider, the one fellow dealership in the broader dataset, sits at position 21 (0.83). The dominant pattern in the top 10 is value-oriented, regionally concentrated retail and dining: Game X Change (0.89), Ollie's Bargain Outlet (0.88), Mazzio's Italian Eatery (0.86), and Daylight Donuts (0.86) all cluster tightly. 1st Franklin Financial (0.86) is the lone financial institution in the top 10, reinforcing a consumer-credit dimension consistent with Car Mart's buy-here-pay-here model. Storage Rentals of America (0.85) and 7 Brew Coffee (0.85) round out a set defined almost entirely by everyday-spend, non-luxury brands.
The shape reveals an audience whose overlap is driven by regional, value-focused consumption habits rather than automotive interest specifically.
