      Answer1:Advantages: Other stores nearby are free advertisement for you. If customers miss the McDonalds down the road they see your and stop in.If you run out of cups, you dont have to travel too far to borrow some from another franchise until your order comes in.Disadvantages:They steal customers from you. This is called oversaturation. Starbucks did this and now you see where it has led them...closing stores.
