Another thought is to make the exiting competitor an offer.

If the owner is closing down their business you can ask if they will give/sell you their customer database so that way you can get a head start on stopping the employees starting their own business because you got to the customers first.

Another way is to aks if the exiting owner will give you a referall from his existing customers to come to you now.

I am interested in why two competitors are closing in similar time periods. Are they related in some way? Or is the market place demand drying up? Is it that they are older and dont want to change their business to meet the new demands from customers?

Is there a major change in your market that you are unaware of?
