In my town TC have two shops within throwing distance of each other. That to me doesn’t make any business sense whatsoever.
Generally I would agree however I have a relative that works in a City Centre branch of TC with another one literally a 30 second walk away, she says both branches are profitable and strangely have different customer bases.
I suppose if the demand is there are it's more cost effective to operate 2 branches then go for it. I suppose consolidating into a single retail space might make sense but then the larger the space the more expensive rates can be, so 2 smaller spaces relatively close together might overall be cheaper and still bring in the same revenue.
It's all a balancing act
