Evaluating Competitive Impact on Asset Value
A small, independent coffee shop has been the only specialty coffee provider in a neighborhood for ten years, building a loyal customer base. Its primary assets include its custom-built espresso machine, its prime storefront location (which it owns), and its established brand reputation. A large, international coffee chain announces it will be opening a new store directly across the street. Analyze how the arrival of this new competitor is likely to affect the income-generating value of each of the independent shop's three primary assets (espresso machine, storefront location, and brand reputation). Justify your reasoning for each asset.
