There are parts of San Francisco where you can't walk one block without going past 3 Walgreen's and 5 Starbuck's. Who needs that many that close together?

When I started working for McD's in highschool, there was only 3 McDonald's in my city. That was in 96. When I quit in 2001 after school, there were about 7 in my city alone and the franchise opened quite a few in the other 2 cities that make up the area I grew up in.
When I went home back in May, there were even more.
Honestly, I don't think it's up to the cities to regulate...if the market gets too saturated, the market will take care of too many in the same area.

This. It isn't (and shouldn't be) up to the city government to decide how many franchises a business opens up, at least not here in America. It is up to the business itself. If McD's (or BK, or Wal-Mart, or Target, or Whole fucking Foods) sees sales going up in a particular town and their restaurants full to capacity then it may be time to open up a new store or at least make the restaurants bigger to accommodate a greater number (and greater size :tongue
of customers.Will it is kind of up to the cities as they must gave the ok on building plans for what wants to open there has been a few thing that my city does not have and they have said no to them when they have tried to but yet they keep letting the same franchise open and that goes for all the town and cities around me

Supply and demand. If there's a company you would like in your area you should write to them.
I would like to see less Wal-Marts. Now to convince people not to shop there.

You can do it Will. You have powers of persuasion far beyond those of mortal man.

Sure, in some instances, but what you gonna do, start a boycott or something? Doesn't work, if people want to eat at fat burger they will.

Oh, I see what this is all about. Let's say mom and pop have a pizza place on the block. Another mom and pop open another one. The local hardware store wants to convert to a 3rd pizza place. Any problem with that? Now the bistro on the cornor wants to install a pizza oven and deliver. All is good since they are locally owned right?
Now Pizza Hut comes in and offers all 4 to own a franchise. Still locally owned and at a nice profit to the owners. Is that a problem?

You maybe right about supply and demand but lets stay i want to open a franchise in my town i can't because the ones that are already here brought the rights to them so no one else can ever open one so the rich just get richer

I don't mind. it usually takes care of itself: if a brand opens two shops close to each other one of them will eventually close down because of lack of visitors and profits. One thing I don't understand is the vast amount of night shops in my city. In an area of 5 minutes walking from where I live, there are 10 night shops! How the heck they manage to survive I do not know.
You should give us at least 1 of your Dunkin' Donuts. The only one in the entire state in on a Marine Corps base and is, as one might imagine, difficult to get into if one is not in the military. We'll trade you an In-N-Out, I think that's fair.
Some idiotic companies have the plan to over-populate cities with their franchises. Starbucks, for example, planned to put more shops than were viable in their target cities, and accept that some/most of their franchises were going to lose money. They'd keep them there just long enough to force the other coffee shops to close. Then they'd reduce the number of Starbucks in the city, too. They have been incredibly effective in killing other peoples' businesses.

Quiznos and Subway do the same thing. Where I live, there are quite a few shopping centers where there are two Starbucks: One in a grocery store and a full-service store across the way. I also know of one shopping center that has a full-service Starbucks on each end of the center.
