Fazoli's nearest ten neighbors span a tanning salon, a bookstore chain, a car wash, an auto dealership, and a baseball team — with only two fellow casual dining brands in the set. That cross-kind composition, compressed into a narrow similarity band from 0.86 to 0.90, defines the flat shape here: no single neighbor dominates, and the audience pattern is not primarily explained by restaurant category.
Sun Tan City leads at 0.90, followed by Books-A-Million at 0.90 and Speedy Cafe at 0.89. The two casual dining neighbors — Bob Evans at 0.89 and Logan's Roadhouse at 0.87 — sit mid-pack rather than at the top. Rounding out the ten are Steak 'n Shake (0.87, fast casual), Club Carwash (0.87), Arby's (0.86, QSR), J.D. Byrider (0.86, auto dealerships), and the Cincinnati Reds (0.86). Services, retail, and automotive each claim a slot that a restaurant brand does not.
The flat shape with a cross-kind mix suggests this audience is defined by something broader than dining preference — a shared behavioral or geographic profile that pulls in everyday service brands and regional institutions alongside the expected restaurant neighbors.
