He was blocked by two nearby competitors. Everyone here seems to think they are just being greedy and corrupt and don't have a valid objection.
Maybe there simply isn't enough demand to support three ice cream shops.
Alternate story in a universe where he got to open:
"All three shops have died, unable to survive the pandemic and general lack of demand for ice cream. The other two might have survived the pandemic had a third shop not opened in the neighborhood. Now he's just as deeply in debt as in this universe and other lives were also ruined."
You don't know that the alternate path is all happy, shiny success and only did not happen because evil bureaucracy, bwa ha ha.
- glenra 6y ago...or perhaps the addition of one more competitor makes this area become known as "the ice cream district", pulling in ice-cream-seeking customers from surrounding areas and attracting complementary businesses, with the new competition and higher profile making all three shops more successful and better-known than they otherwise would be.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI've never heard of an ice cream district. Supporting articles welcome. (I'm aware of, say, fashion districts or restaurant districts.) I'm genuinely interested in what kind of research one should do if they want to successfully start a restaurant. I will likely look around myself at some point, but if anyone wants to give me links to good stuff, I will totes give one whole free upvote in exchange.
