While a number of recent articles have addressed the issue of site selection, the related issue of optimal timing and preemption has been largely ignored. In this paper, an integrated location-allocation model is presented that allows a retailer to formulate an overall location strategy by addressing the questions of many stores to open, where to open them, and when to open them. In addition, the model explicitly incorporates demand growth scenarios and take into account the dynamics of competitive actions. As an illustration of its use, the model is applied to a simple yet realistic decision scenario| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
