Texas Roadhouse is the strongest pull in Spencer's top 10, at 0.89 — and it's a casual dining chain, not a retailer. That cross-kind lead sets the tone for a neighbor set that spreads widely across categories with no single dominant cluster.
The shape is broad: eight of the top 10 neighbors score above 0.80, and the range from first to tenth is only about 0.11 points. The top 10 break down as four Restaurants & Eateries — Texas Roadhouse (0.89), Buffalo Wild Wings (0.82), Freddy's Frozen Custard (0.80), and Village Inn (0.80) — alongside three Retail entries: Ashley Furniture HomeStore (0.85), Hobby Lobby Stores (0.83), and Bass Pro Shops (0.81). Buckle (0.84) and Torrid (0.79) represent Apparel, while Red Lobster (0.80) rounds out the casual dining contingent. Hobby Lobby is the only neighbor sharing Spencer's own subcategory — Hobbies Gifts and Crafts — at 0.83; every other neighbor arrives from a different retail vertical or from food service entirely.
The casual dining presence is the defining structural feature: four of the top 10 are sit-down restaurant chains, a category with no obvious thematic link to a mall gift retailer. That pattern, combined with the spread across furniture, sporting goods, and apparel, points to an audience whose shape is defined less by any single interest than by a broad, mainstream American consumer profile.
