- Although the initial thought would be that locating ear competitors would be detrimental to the business as it lowers prices and can cause price wars, we are choosing to locate near to our competitors because: it will encourage people to travel to the store as there are many shops in the area, it encourages friendly competition and helps business to track their competition and it could make it easier for deliveries as supplies will already be travelling into Farnham
