every shopping centre or service has its own threshold population. This is the minimum number of people who are in the market area to make the shop profitable.

A Porsche show room has a very large threshold population. This is because not many people in any area buy many cars.

A sweet shop has a small market area because people buy sweets and newspapers regularly, so the shop can make a profit with a fairly small threshold population.

The range of a shop is the distance people are prepared to travel to visit a shop.

Porsche buyers have a long range because people do not but Porsche's very often so they are prepared to travel a long distance. The sweet shop has a much smaller range as people will not travel a great distance to but a newspaper.

Hope this helps!
