Yes, for you stick in the muds, the map is open to interpretation, but it's just a fun graphic, so there.

I'm confused about Taco John's for Wyoming  

I would have expected an oil company of some sort (Sinclair stations are everywhere in WY but I guess more in Utah?).

There's one Saks store in Alabama. It's in Birmingham, and it's about the size of a linen closet.

Allsups!  Bwahahahaha!!

For you poor sops that aren't privileged to live in these parts, Allsups is a convenience store chain specializing in small rural towns.  By "small rural" I mean little burgs like my home town of Crowell, TX, population 980.  Their burritos and green chili chimies are the stuff of legend... especially at about three in the morning after you've spent all day and most of the night doing fun-but-not-necessarily-smart things.  Coupla chimies and a quart of chocolate milk is one helluva hangover preventive.

Are those the ones that have only two temperatures, ice and lava?

We have a similar chain in Pennsylvania... Sheetz.

Two Sheetz dogs with everything and a quart of Mountain Dew and we were armed to do battle with an all-nighter study session before exams...

Looks like it is based more on brand recognition than corporate size.

Yummy...going to have some Gino's this weekend.

So THAT'S where it is!!!

[MillCreek]

For Washington, Boeing, Microsoft, Weyerhauser and Starbucks would all have been good choices.

[Regolith]

Florida really should have been Disney. I mean, Hooters? Really?

I would put Bass Pro in Missouri before AB who sold out to InBev.

I'm thinking Quicktrips are more ubiquitous in Oklahoma than Sonic.

Saks? Really?  That's all you got?  Saks?  Why, we're famous for....  ah... Never mind.  But not Saks.

I would call it a toss-up.  The thing is QT isn't in OKC because of an agreement between the owner of QT and 7-11.  They won't compete in Tulsa and OKC.

Based on that I would give Sonic the edge.

But does Disney have a $100 cup of coffee?

stay safe.

[Regolith]

stay safe.

Given the prices for everything they charge inside their parks, I would not be surprised if they did.

Also, this is supposed to be "most recognized corporation of that state". Everyone, from kids barely old enough to speak all the way up to your aged grandmother knows Disney. Hooters, not so much.

I'd forgotten that part. Sonic used to be pretty good but either they've gone to crap the last few years or I've developed an aversion to grease burgers.

The parent company of Saks was founded in Alabama just after World War I.

I would say that they have gone to crap the last few years.
