Overall, it seems fewer incubators <br />are simply breaking even in 2015; more <br />are either profitable or losing money. The <br />trend suggests that food incubators are <br />challenging to operate. The authors did <br />not mention the possible flaws of reporting <br />bias and censoring. Companies may be <br />less likely to report losing money and <br />companies that have already gone out of <br />business are not included in the survey. <br />Key competitors <br />Local restaurants <br />The CDA for the current study has <br />been shown in Figure 1. Here we used the <br />CDA to identify the locations of current <br />restaurants to analyze the regional <br />competitions. Figure 3 shows the location and density of the 342 restaurants currently in <br />operation around the Ramsey CDA. The Anoka -Coon Rapids restaurant node has the <br />highest density of restaurants around Ramsey. Elk River, Rogers and St. Francis <br />regions all have small nodes of restaurants. These observations follow similar densities <br />observed from the fall research on retail development in Ramsey.18 It is clear that <br />Ramsey is at the edge of the Anoka -Coon Rapids restaurant node and the region north <br />of the COR has very limited restaurant <br />presence.
