[Chriscross309]

I just thought of this on my last thread and thought it should be a tread of its own.

What chain store, or resturant, would you like to see come to the Charleston Area?

Charleston has alot, but also doesn't have some key chains.

This is my list!!! Barn's & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Old Navy,

Best Buy, Wegmans, Sheetz, Ruby Tuesday, Cheedars, Five Guys, Buffalo Wild Wings, and more

Come on!!!

Even if Your not from Charleston!!!

It can be any kind of Chain. A gas station, grocery store, pharmacy, department store, fast food, casual dinning, hotel, fine dinning, cafe, box store, whole sale, discount,

Suprize Me!!!

Sorry to stray form the point of your post, but does anybody know how far south Sheetz's territory extends into WV?

[Chriscross309]

Sheetz just built a new location in Huntington, and plan on on in Hurricane.

But they are looking in the Charleston and Beckley areas.

Best Buy has some newer "mini-stores" that might do well there.

When I was a kid (1970s) the only thing Charleston had in the way of electronics was Radio Shack. Then Circuit City opened when I was in my teens and for the majority of the time they pretty much had the market up there regarding electronics stores. No one figured I guess that they would one day wind up completely sinking, and then leave the Charleston area without a dedicated place to go.

Here in Atlanta, it used to be a 3-way competition with Circuit City and Best Buy being the two main dogs, and hhgregg being the pup that ate the leftover crumbs. Radio Shack exists here, but it's pretty much just known as the place you go to get odd stuff you can't find elsewhere (old speaker wires, a remote control car, etc). Once CC went under, hhgregg stepped up some of their merchandise to better compete with Best Buy, but you have to watch them as prices can be much higher on some items if you don't shop around. In my area of suburban Atlanta they opened a mini-Best Buy that's only about 1/2 or so the size of a regular one (minus some of the fluff items the larger ones sell). It does pretty well. That might fly in the Charleston area.
