Billy Sims, the 1978 Heisman Trophy winner and a former running back for the Detroit Lions, came in hot to the fast casual dining scene in 2004 when he and his partner Jeff Jackson opened up their first franchise in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Now, his Tampa, FL-based company, founded by brothers Hannibal and Keenan Baldwin in 2014, wants to help industry players find ideal locations to choose from by crunching large amounts of statistical data.

The 21st century is upon us, and it’s here sooner the you imagined: Real estate site selection just took a huge leap into the future, and you might have missed it: Artificial intelligence is taking over the industry.
