Head-to-head competition

Here's a picture of two retailers of headstones for graves. The two are sited opposite a large cemetery in Layton (on a busy road), on the outskirts of Blackpool. I'm not really sure if people shop around for tombstones but it does underline the importance of location. We can see how retailers can benefit from being clustered together. Other examples of this would be retailers of shoes, jewellery and clothing where customers certainly want to compare products and prices.
