      I feel like US has a store chain with every conceivable name at this point.

      And hearing about chains called like Five Guys just sounds weird to be honest.

        Yeah, there used to be a Gaylords department store.

          At least that one makes sense for a store, they probably got a lot of their stock in gaylords.

        There’s also a restaurant chain which is also named Dick’s

        The “Eat some Dick’s” jokes write themselves.

        I feel like you could craft us chain store names into some innuendo sentence or even paragraph
