Inspired by my other thread I thought I would do this. Using Yahoo! or Google (or any other preferred website, see how many of Starbucks, McDonald’s, 7-11, and Subways there are 5 miles or closer to your house and where you live. For me in Los Angeles (using Yahoo! Yellow Pages): Starbucks 54 McDonald’s 31 7-11 36 Subway 49 ---

I can tell you without even doing a search! Starbucks: 0 McDonald’s: 0 7-11: 0 Subway: 1 (There is one Starbucks and one McDonald’s within 25 miles of where I live. There are no 7-11s.) ---

Hmm, I’m not finding a good way to get that info off either Google or Yahoo. Tips? Using each store’s website, I found: [Starbucks](http://www.starbucks.com/retail/locator/default.aspx) - 36 [McDonalds](http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/rest_locator.html) - 26 [7-Eleven](http://www.7-eleven.com/storelocator/PrxInput.aspx) - 26 (which astounds me. I could have told you about 2, and that only after thinking really hard.) [Subway](http://www.subway.com/Applications/locator/index.aspx) - 21 when I search with the first 4 digits of my ZIP, which I think is roughly 5 miles, but I could be wrong about that. ---

According to the McDonalds website, there are 8 McDonalds within 5.54 miles of my zipcode. If I just go with the 5 miles, it is 6 locations. There are 6 Starbucks within 5 miles. There are six 7-11’s within 5.23 miles. Subway didn’t have them sorted via range, but when I searched on my zip code, it came back with 6 locations. As I mentioned in another thread, there are 6 Whataburgers within 5 miles of me as well. That is kinda weird. All these businesses have 6 locations within 5 miles of me. ---
