The Club does not compete with those other fine establishments. We engage in co-opetition.
The imperfect oligopolistic competition which exists between the businesses creates a revenue maximizing situation. I grant that crushing the Bar and Cafe would increase EGSC revenues slightly. However profits would actually shrink because the EGSC would have to serve markets we don't really have a handle on.
For example if Cramer's closed, Everyday Girl and her little friends would come in here looking for slushy coffee type drinks and no one wants that.

If EGSC closed, the café would be overrun with evil-doers and we have a hard enough time repairing damage from flying axes.
Of course, if a certain algorithm were to open an establishment, one might see the oligarchs move swiftly to crush it to meaningless code sequences. We have a nicely balanced system going here.
