In the small rural area there are two grocery stores that are already present. The main two competitors will be Cash Saver and Marketplace. Cash Saver has established themselves as the cheaper of the two stores, while Marketplace has established themselves of higher quality products. The town has two local steak houses that both buy their meat from Marketplace. One of the first obstacles that Trader Joe’s will face is gaining the trust of the local restaurants.
