Supposedly the same thing happens with coffee too. Starbucks does the expensive market research, and then other chains build near Starbucks.

I thought Starbucks had simply reversed the process. They appear to open a coffee shop on every corner (sometimes several on the same corner) and just close the ones that don't do well.
