The store prices products somewhat lower than the super-premium jewelry stores, but offers better products and services than low-end jewelry stores provide. The market situation this store faces sounds most like:_______.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: monopolistic competition.

Such similar products and services are not ideal substitutes for each other. In these industries the barrier to entry and exit is low.
