Can anyone fill me in on this Texas comic shop story 0

In the latest MCS newsletter, Buddy discusses how the first real comic shop in the Dallas area was called Tanners. Then he casually mentions how future DC Executive Bob Wayne opened a store directly across the street and the two had a fierce rivalry until both stores closed.

There has to be a great story behind this. Why would Mr. Wayne choose to locate across the street from the only other shop in many many miles. I met Bob a few times when I was a retailer and he once went out of his way to help me out of a semi-sticky situation. There must be a back story worth reading about.
