Let's try an experiment. Name some stores in your area that are "chain" stores. |
|
I'll see if I have one of those here where I live.
I'll go ahead and knock two off the list.
Target - No Home Depot - No
Have fun!

Lowe's, Home Depot, Ben Franklin, Michael's, SteinMart, Barnes and Noble, Kohl's, Bath and Body Works, Dress Barn, Hallmark, Pier I, Old Navy, Office Max.

10. Depends on what "in your area" means, geographically |
|
In my village? Nothing. Zip. Nada. One Mobil gas station, one Sunoco gas station. One small grocery store.
However, about a 10-minutes' drive away there's a McDonalds, and a 20-minute-ish drive away, in two directions, there are two chain-store hells--so extensive I can't even begin to list the chains.

13. I'm thinking within 20 miles is good. |
|
I figure 15 to 20 miles is fairly close enough. Anything over that and it is a special trip to me.

Dollar General - Yes and we have some other Dollar type stores too, not sure what's up with so many kinds of dollar stores around here; maybe it's for shopping sprees. :P Pizza Hut - Yes A&W - No
