When I owned a retail store, in a business with a relatively small customer base, I considered myself lucky when the competitor across town wasn't selling the same product lines. In a way, it doesn't help Frank to be the sole propex dealer for Canada, more retailers (within reason) means more product gets out to the public, which means more exposure, which means more sales.
