Yes, there would be people who do come to any alternative store in avoidance of H+F, and over time the business would grow, but like most of retailing you'd be fighting against high rent prices, internet retail and small and decreasing margins.

Dont wish to be a gloom merchant, but theres clouds on the horizon for the whole retail model at the moment ... the dynamic has changed radically over the last few years ... and will continue to change ...
