Wait, how does a store that never opened drive out an existing store? That’s not how commercial leases work…

Given that a supermarket abandoned that location, and Amazon never opened on their either, perhaps that location or the lease price simply doesn’t work for a grocery store?

The tenants needed to vacate before the owner tore down the building.

They got word of the development and decide to not renew their commercial lease? Then you either move business somewhere where you don't have to directly complete, or shut down.
