<human>: I live in CT and work for a grooming salon within a corporate pet supply chain.

A former employee of the salon has opened up her own grooming salon up the street (done so purposefully since she has bragged about it) and is now coming into our store and handing out her business cards to any grooming customer she sees.

We've been told by regulars that she has mailed them out coupons. This suggests that she may have taken customer information before leaving the company.

What I'm wondering is if it's legal for her to come into our store and take our customers? She has been caught stealing from us and won't come in when certain managers are around. She also sends her employees to hand out cards as well.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Former employee is soliciting her business at our store. Openly telling people not to use or grooming services. Is it legal?
