I know a town with I think five or six large furniture (or general household item) stores basically next to each other. Big brands.
It is probably a combination of factors: The area is easy to reach by car, it's easy to supply by truck, plenty of space for storage and people actively come there to shop furniture - yes you will be competing with five different stores, but since the customer base travels quite a bit anyway, you'd be stupid to set up shop in a different town. People will walk/drive 5 minutes to check a different store if they already came all this way, but they probably won't head to a store two towns over just to compare prices.
