This talk about GE, oops, I mean Giant Eagle and Wegmans etc. got me to thinking. What national chains, be it food or retail, would you like to see come here? People out west seem to think highly of a chain called In N' Out Burger. I have heard good things about them. You can't beat a good burger, shake and fries when made well.

In N' out burger is only in three states. It is a west coast chain. They don't expand far so their quality of food is fresh

LOVE Dinosaur BBQ... a highlight when visiting Rochester (as was Wegmans)!
When traveling, it is nice to look forward to things that we don't have here.


IDK... after last month, I am thinking the landscape is getting too homogenous with retail chains.
I was out east (Lancaster County) and glanced out the window.
I was on Route 30, in Hempfield, and there was a PetSmart. A few days before I was on Route 30, in Hempfield, and there was a PetSmart, except that was Westmoreland County.
Things weren't all that different even though the location changes.....

Hungry Howie's pizza. I have fond memories of their flavored crusts.
