Abstract
One dimensional stylized model taking into account spatial activity of firms with uniformly distributed customers is proposed. The spatial selling area of each firm is defined by a short interval cut out from selling space (large interval). In this represen- tation, the firm size is directly associated with the size of its selling interval.
