The guy clearly knows about you and he still decided to open near your business. That probably means that he thinks he can satisfy a related need that you haven't covered or he thinks he can do better than you. When they open I would send someone to spy on them and see what they are doing. Better prices? They offer more products? Etc. It's gonna be rough but you have the advantage of already building a relationship with your clients. Good luck bro

The moral choice is to try your best and win, but we both no that they are scumbags and will do anything to destroy your business.

How do we know this? Because he opened up a store right next to you. No one with any sense of morality would try to destroy an already decent business for the name of profit.

So with morality out of the way you need to basically do anything to destroy his business.

Pay reviews to bomb the shit out of him on yelp, google, etc. Tout that you pay your employees more and that the other owner is a scammer. Hire a private detective and reveal family drama that he has to other people. Arson is great too, hire someone with cryptocurrency on the dark web.

Fuck dirty jews who try to destroy someone else's established business. You might ask why am I so jaded? I had a childhood dream of opening my own video game store. It's impossible because of gamestop. Gamestop even destroyed my hometown's game shop. They went from making decent money to going bankrupt in the span of one month.

I unironically have a business plan ready to go. I have sourced distributors, talked to other retailers, found a great location, measured out start up costs, setup a website and payment processor, and also have a backup plan to get rid of inventory so I can stop impermanent loss. (Handcrafted merchandise from etsy sold alongside unwanted games).

I've also looked at franchising opportunities, but none really fit my personality. Most franchises are from California. I don't even mind them taking a fee, I just don't want to be bound on what I can and cannot do. For example selling of M Rated games. They might ban anime tiddy games (senran kagura for example) or might try to stop certain future GTA-like games.

I've also thought of buying out an old game store in Nashville, TN with my current crypto holdings and taking over a store, the problem is that the store isn't profitable either and is just a hobby project for another millionaire.

I've also thought of franchising a table top store, then also have my video game store right next to it. https://gamekastle.co/ That way I can funnel in both types of customers as there is much cross over between the two hobbies.

If you're good at what you do, charge correctly, and have good staff - you'll be absolutely fine. If you're genuinely nervous, you already know that you're fucked because of something you do and haven't bothered to change.

A store could open next door to mine and I'd destroy them without changing anything. That's confidence in knowing your market, and your product.

Molotov. Already suggested, but have you considered using a slingshot to fling it? In the middle of the night, get on top of your roof and start sending them over. Don't need to be close to the scene of the crime. If the store isn't opened yet, the building owner will be the only person losing money.
