There was a planet money story about a guy in canada who would buy up huge quantities of trader joes stuff and sell it at a significant markup. he had to evade trader joes' managers who were told the guy was a persona-non-grata and did a lot to keep him out. eventually he had to close up shop (and he did have a real physical location) as it became too difficult to stay open.

He had to close because even though the legal rulings were for him. Trader Joe’s kept appealing and he couldn’t keep up with the finances for defending what had become bullying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Joe's https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Joe's
