(Hawthorne, NJ). There are already two major supermarkets within two miles radius of the proposed site, four within 3 miles.

As far as demographics, the area is suburban with each town consisting of 12 to 15,000 with Paterson (a city) nearby.

Why is another supermarket "competitive"? It isn't. It's just that the land was available to build it.
