Answer
ב"ה Shalom Fair competition is allowed according to halacha and may open a store near an existing store even though the new store will affect the income of the existing one. שו"ע חו"מ סימן קנו :ה However, when a practical situation arises ,a Rabbi should be consulted and filled in on all the details and factors involved in order to give a proper relevant ruling. All the best
