[quote=Anonymous]Giant was the prime developer and anchor, but ironically that anchor may act as a drag on other businesses. Two cases in point: Strangely, the Cathedral Commons Starbucks is a smaller, more crowded space with fewer seats than the Starbucks that previously operated at the same site. The reason is that Giant successfully limited the size of the “real” Starbucks because Giant has its own Starbucks franchise stand (windowless and soulless) inside the supermarket. The owner of Grilled Oyster wanted to expand his business by having a fresh seafood counter like at Black Salt. But Bozzuto, the landlord operator, vetoed it citing a lease restriction that the restaurant not engage in any business that directly competed with Giant. Of course only in Giant’s imagination could a fresh seafood counter actually be “competitive” with Giant’s offering. [/quote]
