I'm reaching...but any legal advise?

I have an unusual problem, and I am trying to think of anything I can do. Maybe someone can give some ideas.

I own a Carwash�some idiot is planning to build another carwash within � of a mile from mine. The only thing this -business brain- will accomplish by doing this is to have a business not operating at its potential and cause mine to hurt just the same.

I can believe someone would want to compete right next door to me! Anyway I may be just whining but I want to put a stop to it, or at least make it difficult for them.

Any ideas, legal or otherwise. I know about free enterprise but this is ridiculous!

if your city's zoning committee allows it, I don't think there is anything you can legally do.

I do however suggest that you start a marketing campaign to keep your current customers, by offering some sort of rewards, every 6th car wash free or something like that....and advertise alot and openly, big signs, etc, perhaps seeing that competition will be stiff, the other guy may change his mind.

By offering superior service and not having people that work for you that have #ty attitudes you should be able to blow that fartknocker out of the water so to speak.

Nothing I hate more is when I go some place and the employes have #ing attitude problems like they don't want to be there, DONT HATE ME BECAUSE YOU WORK FOR MINIMUM WAGE ARGH! lol seriously that pisses me off more than anything.

Just provide and higher standard and people will flock to you

Thanks for the input.
