In this paper I examine the profit-maximizing locations of entrants. Suppos
e that firms practice spatial price discrimination and consumer locations a
re discrete, such as five equally spaced towns on a roadway. With completel
y inelastic consumer demand an entrant between two existing firms is often
indifferent between the symmetric (central) location and a continuum of asy
mmetric (noncentral) locations. However, downward-sloping consumer demand o
ften causes the entrant to strictly prefer either of two asymmetric locatio
ns to any other location. These results are very different from those found
in mill-pricing (free-on-board or f.o.b.-pricing) models.
