This is Part 2 of a special 2-part series on competition and product overlap in indie retail. Once you’ve processed the emotions behind a “copycat” moment, what comes next?  In this episode, I walk you through my CLEAR framework for grounding yourself, then share three common paths store owners take when a competitor feels too close for comfort: focusing inward, protecting their turf, or collaborating with caution.  You’ll hear the benefits and trade-offs of each, my personal stance, and a mic-drop truth I’ve learned after years of studying independent retailers.
