As retail evolves, location data is becoming even more vital in understanding how people shop in the real world. Toys R Us is yet another example of just how powerful location data can be in predicting business health. In June, inMarket added the toy seller to its list of at-risk retailers due to low customer loyalty. The study was based on inMarket’s first-party data from more than 50 million consumers, as verified by comScore.

More than half of these at-risk retailers have shuttered stores and slowed growth in 2017, including Gap, bebe and H&M.
