Hi.
I' m a Japanese comic fan and was reading the new "KICK-***" #2.
There were 2 things I couldn't understand.
"TRIAD" and "PACKED TOGETHER".
The context is as below:
The hero in this comic called "Kick-***" is planning to rob bad guys and wondering which target she should hit. She thinks, "TRIAD Nail Bars would be a nice hit, but they're all PACKED TOGETHER and very well organized."
I thought "Triad" is just a name of the nail bar, but according to the dictionary it means "a group of three things". Does this meaning have something to do with this case?
Please advise.

Triad is the Japanese mafia. Packed together means there is a lot of them in one place.
jam-packed - things that are pushed closely together:
