I'm doing this one based on college area.
Fast food: McDonalds, Burgerking, Burgerville, Tacobell, Wendy's, and Dairy Queen
Gas Stations: uh....not sure
Grocery Stores: Fred Meyer, Walgreens, and locally owned Fred Meyers

Okay, let's see: Publix, Save-a-Lot and Winn Dixie for grocery stores, Kangaroo for gas stations and convenience stores, McDonald's, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken for fast food, and Krispy Kreme Donuts.

Krispy Kreme closed all its stores in Texas in March 2006. I miss it really much.

Try the one San Antonio @ I-10 and De Zavala
12328 IH 10 W, San Antonio, TX 78230
(210) 696-7771


Or, if you are around Austin
701 E Stassney Ln
Austin, TX 78745
(512) 851-8888

fast food: McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Popeyes(probably the same everywhere)

gas station: Speedway, Jetz, BP, Citgo

grocery stores: Pick N Save(that's really only one I go to. Back when I lived way north there was a grocery store call Triggs which was pretty awesome. Had a video renting place. Was like a little mall almost. Gets me nostalgic just thinking about it)

I have traveled around the US, been to more places then I can count, from towns with 5 houses, to the big cities, and I have never been to a 'area' that didnt have a Subway, lol
It is sort of a joke on my cycling team, after a race someone asks "what is there to eat around here", and someone will say "there has to be a subway around here"

It is the same way with walmart, you could travel to a town in the middle of nowere, with only 3 houses, but they got a walmart! Travel to Hawaii, there is 20 walmarts per island (okay maybe not that many)

Fast Food: McDonald's, Subway, Tim Horton's

Gas Stations: Speedway, Exxon, Kroger Fuel (<-- dunno if that counts, but it seems to be everyone's fuel station of choice)

Grocery Stores: Wal-Mart, Kroger, Foodfair (teh fair is a local chain)

Fast food: McDonalds, KFC, Red Rooster, used to have Burger King and Hungry Jacks

Petrol stations: Caltex, Mobil, Shell, BP, Hastings Co-op

Grocery stores: Coles, Woolworths, Food For Less, Bi-Lo, IGA
