Watching the Denver Broncos home game on NFL Network, and I see the Denver home broadcast has Culver's as a sponsor.

I consider Culver’s to be national now. Strong presences in the Four Corners states, and Florida now has the third-most locations behind Wisconsin and Illinois.

Missing the both the northeast and the Pacific coast, I think Culver's still has a way to go to be national.  From where I am, it's probably a few hundred miles to the nearest Culver's.  I've been to a few and wish there was one closer.

I put Culvers in the same category as Carl's Jr... they may serve good food (Culvers is better than Carl's Jr), but I don't think it's really worth a 30-45 minute drive from where I live. Same with Jimboy's Tacos here in DFW.

In Canada, I wish there was a good competitor to Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons effectively wiped out the chains that were there before (Coffee Time, Country Style) and Dunkin' Donuts wasn't able to compete with Tim's.

The reason is that Tim's is very mediocre and I believe that has to do with the fact that they have little competition in their field.

McDonald's Canada has indeed taken away some market share from Tim's in coffee in recent years, but other things like donuts, pastries and sandwiches, there isn't really a big competitor.

7-Eleven

To answer the thread's question though, I wish there were more 7-Eleven in eastern Canada. 7-Elevens here generally have the cheapest gas prices.
In Canada, most of 7-Eleven's market share is in the West. In the east, most convenience store market share is taken by Couche-Tard (which owns the Circle K brand).

It's kind of funny, when you drive in Western NY, you can find 7-Elevens almost anywhere, but the moment you cross the border, you have to put in effort to search for 7-Eleven if you wanted to visit one.

E.g.: Niagara Falls, NY: 10 7-Elevens. Niagara Falls, ON: 2 7-Elevens.

Looks like I’m not gonna have to travel to Jacksonville or Atlanta to get Whataburger for very much longer.  They are now planning two in the Columbia, SC area.  One was previously announced for Irmo (northwest suburb), and today they announced one for Red Bank, which is south of Lexington (western suburb), and less than 15 minutes from my house!!!    🍔
