When Looking For Stocks To Buy Keep This in Mind...

How Locational Competitiveness Is Important For Certain Industries

Every time I go to a Mc Donald's to have my favourite burger, I always spot a Burger King outlet next door or within 50 metres of it.

I can understand if its in a mall as all major outlets have retail space in the food court of a mall, however these are outlets in open spaces.

In fact, this true for car dealers and petrol pumps too. I'm sure, you must have seen a cluster of auto dealers. Many fuel pumps too, are located adjacent to each other.

To put an end to my curiosity, I did a google search to find the reason why competing brands are situated next to each other? I mean, isn't it counter intuitive?
