What stores around you do you frequent the most? Doesn't matter what type of shopping it is? Which stores don't you have around you that you wish you did?

Target is my store! That is the main place I shop for everything. They have great clothes and accessories. I think the only store we didn't have that i wanted was Kohl's and they just opened up!

I spend most $ at Petsmart....Target.....Bed Bath & Beyond (
it!!!)....Marshalls....Ross....Kohls....Shoprite...Michael's...and now a Macy's just opened!

I wish I had a Giant grocery store closer....those are SO nice inside. And I wish our Walmart was closer....it's about 20 minutes away, but all the others are only 10 mins away. And I wish we had a super walmart....so I could get my groceries there....but I'd probably go broke there too!

I wish there was a petsmart here.. I only feed my cat authority and it's at least an hour or more drive to the nearest petsmart.

I would also like an Old Navy and a Macys. And an Olive Garden

This might sound odd, I'm in NYC, and every version of any store here is VERY different then elsewhere....I hate it! You can walk 10 blocks and find the same thing at 4 different prices!!!!!!!!! Yesterday I realized that a 4 piece chicken Mc nuggets at Mc Donalds was on the dollar menue.........yet a 6 piece was $2.69!!!! $1.69 extra for 2 more nuggets??!!!!! What's that about?
I also found the same exact earings within 2 blocks of each other, one place $10, the other $20! Yeah, yeah, yeah, one of the fashion capitols....blah, blah, blah...........you can wear it first here, but you can also end up being the only one wearing it regretfully!!!!!!!

Hmmmm....for groceries I shop at Trader Joe's or one of the Ma and Pa stores (Carnival or Big Apple Finer Foods). For my cats' food I shop at Dog-a-Holics (yes, I know, but they have a cat-a-holics section too), Barker and Meowsky, 4 Legs or Wigglyville (it's a play on the name of the neighborhood it's in...Wrigleyville). For books and music and DVDs, I go to Borders or Women and Children First Bookstore. There's a Best Buy down the street for Technology needs and a Bed Bath and Beyond for apartment stuff. I buy most of my clothing at the Gap, American Apparel or Old Navy. I get all of my bath stuff at LUSH or I get Burt's Bees stuff at the Parkway Drug.

As far as stores I WISH we had...well, we have anything you could possible want (except for Wal-Mart...well, there is one now, on the edge of the city...but I so wish they would have stayed out of my city!) but I really wish we had a Target that was closer. There's one accessible by like tranferring 2 buses and then walking 3 blocks and there's another that's a 10 minute walk to the El and then a 30 minute train ride and then another 5 minute walk.

I live in Chicago like Allie does, and I'd have to agree that I can't really think of anything I don't have within an easy distance. I have a car, too, which makes it easier. Even though Chicago is a big city with public transportation there are some areas of the city that are just hard to get to-- I didn't have a car when we first moved here and it was ocassionally difficult!

The only thing we don't have that I would want, as shameful as it is to say, is Chik Fil-A! I grew up in FL and when I moved to NY and then to Chicago the first thing I missed was Chik Fil-A! Although if I had one really near me I'd probably eat it WAY too much!!!

DH and I shop at Wild Oats for all of our food, and I wish we had a Whole Foods. I just need a broader selection on things.

I wish we had an Ikea. I love that place!

Wal-Mart of course, I go there at least once a day.

And our Wal-Mart is a super Wal-Mart so I can go there anytime I want to.

Add me to the list of those who want a Super Wal-Mart. There's a Wal-Mart down the street, but the town wouldn't allow them to build a Super Wal-Mart. And I wouldn't mind a Wal-Mart near the office. I used to go to the super in Salem NH when I lived on the Mass/NH border.

I shop mostly at Super Walmart, they have a very broad selection of products. I can get everthing there that I need, from groceries to cleaning supplies, and I don't have to run all over town trying to get everything we need.

We don't have a Target here and that is something I wished we had.

We have the the third largest Super WalMart in the US about 10 minutes from our house, in Lexington NC, pop. about 20,000!
Why it is here, I do not know...

It is HUMONGUS!
Lots more stuff than the other Supercenters, and ROOMY! I swear you can get 4 carts down an aisle at once.

Since Walmart opened I rarely go to Zellers anymore.
But there is ALOT of shops I wish we had but don't, but I go to Toronto a few days a week and can find pretty much everything there

I might be one of the few that wishes there were NO WALMARTS!!! I will never shop there (long story)
Anyhow I usually grocery shop at a Wisconsin chain called Woodman's Which I think blows Walmart out of the water in terms of selection and price.
However I would really like a Whole Foods!!!
I like Target and TJ Maxx and Talbots too. And Barnes & Noble.
I wish we had a Crate and Barrel and Smith and Hawkens though.

Hummm...no complaints here at all! Here in Memphis and the outlying cities we have everything we could dream of shopping in- you name it, we usually will have it.
So i definitely love that about the area. My favorites are Kohls, Macy's when they have sales, Target, Wal-Mart, Garden Ridge, Dollar Tree, Victorias Secret, TJ Maxx, PetSmart,Petco, Superpetz, HollywoodPetStar, Just Dogs, ALLLLLL of our aweosme flower shops and wholesalers (i'm a florist- gotta love that stuff!!!!), The Body Shop, Bath & Body Works, Estee Lauder (we have little botuques all over
), Merale Norman, Big Lots, I could go on and on.
I love all of our stores around.

The only thing I can think of that I wish we had would be this little makup shop- it's kinda similar to the body shop, that I went to once in Mall of America- I LOVED that place- they had the best lip liner ever- and it was inexpensive. I think it had "botanical" in there somewhere in the name but i could be wrong. I wish we had some place like that here. But other than that, i'm perfectly happy
/ I'd also LOVE an awesome Vietnamese resturant closer to Bartlett,TN where colin lives. The closest good one is in midtown Memphis in a rough part of town (haha, colin packs heat everytime we go there
)..but it's worth it! They have the best Pho!!!
