Xerox had this model in the US many years ago. In South America they had it too and little by little they transitioned the operations into indepent businesses. You may think that Xerox is behind those big printshops, but reality is that are probably 100% independent. They just happen to partner with Xerox at another level. Anyone with the right size of capital $ could do the same. For instance, in the US, Fedex Kinkos, Office Depot, Office Max they all have Xerox in hundreds of stores.
Anywhere in the world, I think you'll find the scenario where a vendor sells to Company A and then to Company B, who are competitors.
