Is it a law forbidding two of the same business from operating on the same corner ?

[Bunny-Wabbit]

You don't give enough detail in your example to say flat out, but, generally it will depend on what the city will allow. Peddlers often though are free to compete against each other. Your mileage may vary.....

I don't know what a snow biz is but I don't know why not.

 

[Johnny]

For example , can a person open a snow biz across the street from another snow biz that have been there for awhile?

 

[Bryan H]

Yes, as long as the spot you are looking at is properly zoned for your type of business. And the response below about bars being 1 to 3 miles apart is just wrong. Capitalism is all about competition. Sell your snow cones for less than the guy across the street!

 

[antisobriety]

Absolutely, its every where

 

[mom of 3 and done!]

Yes, the only business that's protected is a Bar, usually from 1 to 3 miles of each other.

 

[Stuart]

Competition is perfectly legal.

Sure-just take a look at gas stations. You usually see more than one at an intersection.
