spite store

When a place of business angers you, so you open a competing store out of spite.

Mocha Joe's cafe served me cold coffee, so I'm opening a spite store right next door called Latte Larry's.

Spite Store

A store purposely built next to or in close proximity of another one selling the same or similar products. In doing so, the new store owner plans to avenge prior mistreatment in the other store by taking its customers.

Larry decided to build a coffee selling spite store next to Mocha Joe's after being banned for complaining about the poor service at that store.
