By reviewing the state of art about location models in different outlets in retail businesses over time, we take a courier company to define a location model of retail sales points, based on major revenue customer, the result gives optional strategies for network structure, where the model outputs are validated under changes in demand and network capacity in different scenarios, generating strategic options to be implemented in companies with the same characteristics. The project finds a form to eliminate the subjectivity that exists in the decision-making with location sales points problems in retail services companies.
