This is our second installment of our top 10 blog posts of 2022. Read on for some more of our top announcements, analyses, and more as we count down to our top blog post of this year.

In fifth on our list of the top 10 blog posts this year is a foot traffic analysis. High inflation rates in 2022 led to Americans cutting back on luxury and grocery spending. With this knowledge, and following Whole Foods Market’s closing of low-performing stores, Gravy analyzed foot traffic to Whole Foods Market locations and top competitors. This analysis helped readers to better understand how this year’s economic challenges have shifted consumer habits in grocery shopping. Read the full analysis here.

Is it drive-through fatigue? Is it delivery services? Whatever the case, foot traffic to major fast food chains has been slipping this year. At number four in our list, this blog post digs into some of the reasons why fast food chains may be seeing less in-person visits. Analyses like these can teach us a great deal about current consumer interest, the economic state we’re in, and consumer behavior. Read the full fast food analysis here.

And for our top blog post of 2022, we answer the question: How can Gravy Analytics help solve some of society’s biggest challenges? We can do this with enterprise location intelligence, of course. Our data became a key factor in natural disaster safety this year. As wildfires became an increasing threat, the University of Florida Transportation Institute worked with us to better understand human mobility before, during, and after wildfires. The results allowed for better preparation and planning. Read more here.
