That case seems like it'd be driven by different factors -- car dealerships need lots of space to store all those cars, so they gravitate towards locations where land is cheap; they want to be close to a highway exit, to make taking delivery of new cars easier; there may be local law/zoning issues that limit where businesses that do things like car maintenance on-site can be located; etc.
