Zero. There is a small convenience store within 5 miles of me, but not a 7-11 and none of the others. ---

Using each store’s website, I found: [Starbucks](http://www.starbucks.com/retail/locator/default.aspx) - 3 [McDonalds](http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/rest_locator.html) - 12 [7-Eleven](http://www.7-eleven.com/storelocator/PrxInput.aspx) - 9 [Subway](http://www.subway.com/Applications/locator/index.aspx) - 7 [Dunkin’ Donuts](https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/store/Search.aspx) - 23 I’m suprised only by the number of Subways. I don’t think I know of any of them. ---

None. Though there is a small Mom and Pop convenience store about 4 miles away. Nearest 7-11 or gas station is about 13 miles. McD’s. About 25. ---

We have all of those in Bangkok. 5 miles? Heck, there are 2 Starbucks in less than a five minutes’ walk from me, and one of those is only about two minutes away. The local license holder for 7-Eleven has promised to cap them at 5000 for the entire country. ---

McD’s: 5 Starbucks: 4 Subway: 3 or 4 (the restaurant locator doesn’t give a distance to each one, and one might be beyond five miles.) 7-11: 0 ---

Mcd’s = 9 Starbucks = 4 Subway = 6 7-11 = 0 This might be a regional thing - I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a 7-11 in WI Kwik Trip (7-11 equivalent) = 10 ---

Stats from my small town in suburban Boston: Starbucks - one McDonald’s - one 7-11 - one Subway - none yet, but a businessman has informed Town Hall that he intends to apply for a permit to open one. ---

McD - 1 Subway - 1 About 70 miles to the nearest Starbucks or 7-11, there was a 7-11 here at one time. ---

Starbucks: 8 McDonald’s: 13 Subway: 12 7-11: 0 For some reason 7-11s aren’t too common around here. The nearest one is 8 miles away, and I live in a relatively heavily developed commercial area. ---

[QUOTE=Eyebrows 0f Doom] **Starbucks** (How are you guys finding the list of Subways? Their website was of no help, I think I did it the right way through Yahoo but it took a while.)

Starbucks: 1 McDonald’s: 5 (if you count the one on the Thruway rest stop) Subway: 5 7-11: 0 And I’m not exactly in a rural area – it’s a suburb, but Starbucks just opened their first store and there are few 7-11s in upstate NY (nearest is 40 miles away) ---

Skirts of South Central Los Angeles: Starbucks: 31 McDonald’s: 39 7-11: 14 Subway: 38 Bail Bondsmen: 376 Just kidding about the bail bondsmen. There are actually only 73 such businesses within 5 miles of my house, according to yellowpages.
