We have seen two gas stations and such at the same interchanges and even posted on a long ago thread.

Now I have found two Chick Fil A restaurants in Tallahassee that Reno are on the same street just a few blocks apart.
Where the heck did autocorrect get Reno from.
Publix has two stores a block from each other in Key West. I couldn't decide if I preferred the Searstown or Key Plaza location when I lived there.

At one point when I worked in downtown DC there were four Starbuckses within a two-block radius of my office.
Wisconsin and Kwik Trip. Plenty of places where they are across the street from each other, and many decent size towns will have at least two, one on each end of town.
There's a Starbucks in the Target in Hollymead, VA. There's another one on the other side of the shopping center at Towncenter Drive.
There are two Rebel 7-11s across Charleston Blvd from each other at Rainbow Boulevard in Las Vegas. Both of the streets here are six-lane divided, so having the option to access either one of them depending on what side of the street you're on probably gets them more business.

This comment prompts me to recall the Kingstowne Shopping Center here in Fairfax County. See Street View link below and notice the Starbucks location. The Giant Food grocery store immediately to the left also has an in-store Starbucks, so there are effectively two Starbuckses next door to each other. (The Safeway half a mile away at the far end of the shopping center, not visible in the Street View, also has an in-store Starbucks.)

The search engine sucks. I filled the box with two businesses and it didn't find it.
Plus the thread is over 120 days old with the red warning to start a new thread anyway.
A few examples I know of:
* There are Starbucks locations on 2 of the 4 corners at Preston/Park in Plano, north of Dallas (previously 3 of the 4 corners had SBs).
* A Target on NW Highway in Dallas has a CVS in it, meanwhile in the shopping center parking lot, there is a freestanding CVS at NW Hwy./Abrams.
* At the I-20/FM 314 exit in Van, east of Dallas, there are 2 Love's travel centers. The NE corner location was there first for several years before Love's decided to put one on the NW corner. No move was made to close or sell the NE one when or after the NW one opened.

It's not the search engine per se. If you typed "businesses," it wouldn't find the other thread because the subject line there is "business."

Geez.
The thread I started that I always have a hard time finding via search is one about road photos of stuff not on GSV. But then again, I always do end up finding it somehow.
In my area there are two Seven-Eleven stores that are within blocks of each other, about 1/4 mile difference. They are on different streets, but that's still very close.
Mysteriously, there are two Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers locations about 300 feet apart (https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5123367,-77.606935,19.54z?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwNy4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) in Midlothian, VA. The one on the western side of Mall Drive is the original location, the one on the eastern side was built in 2021. Both of them are in operation, and neither one is closing any time soon.
The Target in Woburn, MA has a Starbucks in it with a standalone Starbucks in the same plaza. Also in Revere, MA, there is a Dunkin Donuts across the street from another one.
There are several mentions of Motel 6 in that other thread. One I didn't see mentioned was Tigard, Oregon, where there are two Motel 6s directly across the street from each other, at 17950 and 17959 SW McEwan Road.
(https://i.imgur.com/o2DLFZX.jpg)
Looking at it on Google Street View, you can see that the one on the southeast side of the street is one of those old-style Motel 6s built in the late 1960s or early 1970s with that classic cheap 2-story design with exterior corridors. The one on the northwest side is 3-story with interior corridors, and must have originally been branded something else before it became a Motel 6.
They don't appear to be a single merged business, because if I wanted to stay tonight, I see a lowest rate of $53.99 for the southeast one and $63.99 for the northwest one. I wonder what percentage of the time the check-in clerk has to say, "Oh, your reservation is at the motel across the street."

There are two in my neck of the woods on the same street in the same town, but one has a liquor license whereas the other does not.
With truck stops, you'd think they'd be more common to avoid truck crossovers. More often, though, a competitor will set up shop on the opposite side first.
I was pretty mystified on a recent road trip when I encountered what looks like three Citgo gas stations all right next to each other on the same side of the street near Amite City, LA:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/vGfWvjX6vJvZD4Nw6
And if you go further down the road, there's also two Citgos across the street from each other:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/uSeoAJDHhzCSfC3s6
The entire situation strikes me as odd. Are the three Citgo's all associated with the same business, or are the three casino/gas stations owned by different entities? I'm guessing that there are some kind of legal shenanigans happening here, but given that I am not an expert on casino regulations in Louisiana, I'll leave that for someone else to figure out.
Here's another one that is pretty interesting... two full-size Love's travel stops right next to each other off of I-30 (on the same side!) near Prescott, AR.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/B6W2vBryVtCZM28M9
I'm guessing the old one was too overcrowded, but was kept open after the new one opened for whatever reason (something to do with a contract with that Hardee's, I would assume?). Whatever the reason, I find it interesting that both have managed to coexist for at least a year (the old one was still open when I passed by last week).

I don't know what the laws are like in Louisiana, but in Oklahoma it was the rule that a casino employee could not gamble at any facility they were licensed for. So it was common for the larger casinos to have a smaller casino nearby for the employees of the big casino to gamble at.
I remember when my company's primary office was in downtown Boston and we had internal departmental conferences, to acquire coffee and doughnuts we'd send teams to each of the four nearby Dunkin Donuts, so as to not overload any one of them with our order.
Of course, then there was this news report after the Revere, MA tornado in 2014:

A very Canadian one: a Tim Horton's inside a gas station right next to a standalone location. (GSV link (https://www.google.com/maps/@46.7660493,-71.3120195,3a,19.2y,64.88h,91.18t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYDHUOXMDTpTH8FPiABY56w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-1.1832776861101024%26panoid%3DYDHUOXMDTpTH8FPiABY56w%26yaw%3D64.87597410610212!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYwOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D))
Back in the 90s, and maybe into the early 2000s, this intersection (https://maps.app.goo.gl/jghD28mtkx84TQ9Z8) had two Citgos next to each other. The tabletop gaming store was a 7-Eleven at the time that they sold Citgo gas (if you go back into Street View far enough you can see the gas pumps, but not quite far enough back to when they were contracted with Citgo, as I believe that partnership ended earlier in 2007), while what's now the car dealership across the street was a standalone Citgo after rebranding from, of all things, an Agip station earlier in the 90s. (At the time, where the Wawa is now was itself a car dealership. The 7-Eleven moved to a larger location closer to I-95 and has gas pumps again.)
Right here in Mason City, they have a Starbucks in Target and a standalone Starbucks in the plaza next door. Clear Lake has Kwik Stars east and west of Exit 194 of I-35, the west US 18/IA 122 exit. Both Clear Lake exits have a Kum n Go. Dows, Iowa now has two Casey's, although the one off the interstate isn't actually in Dows, but my coworker from Dows thinks that's weird.

I once was at a presentation by the CEO of Kwik Trip (Kwik Star in Iowa). One of their strategies is to buy up and build gas stations in areas they project will have future growth even if the growth hasn't reached their yet. (Here is an example of this on the east side of Green Bay (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Green+Bay,+WI/@44.5132197,-87.9064409,3a,75y,333.93h,81.7t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sfnexEcoV15kl219GX7z59w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D8.29813242271571%26panoid%3DfnexEcoV15kl219GX7z59w%26yaw%3D333.93100472736387!7i16384!8i8192!4m6!3m5!1s0x8802e2e809b380f3:0x6370045214dcf571!8m2!3d44.5133188!4d-88.0132958!16zL20vMDFmc2N2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDYwOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). There is nothing there now, but it won't be long for the city is going to grow to here.) And part of that is to build and buy on both sides of a freeway, which they have done pretty often in Wisconsin.
I should also point out that the Kwik Trip in Green Bay is only about two miles from another one that is similarly isolated. And these aren't small, but full services ones with car washes and everything.

As noted in reply #8 of this thread, a shopping center near where I live is like that: Until recently, there was a standalone Starbucks next door to Giant (grocery store), another Starbucks inside Giant, and a third Starbucks inside the Safeway at the far end of the shopping center. The standalone location just relocated to a bigger space within the same overall shopping center and is no longer directly next door to Giant, though. I'm glad it relocated. The people parking illegally on the yellow curb outside the standalone location were a neverending problem.

Within 2 blocks of each other on Mineral Point Rd in Madison.
I was thinking one was a former PDQ and the other was always a KT or it was something else. But no, they were both PDQ's.

On Fish Hatchery Rd there is one across the street from another at the same intersection. I'm pretty sure one was a former PDQ. I was heading north on Fish Hatch and saw the Kwik Trip on the opposite side of the street before I saw the one on my side of the street, so I turned left to go to the one on the opposite side of the street and didn't see the other one until I was already pulled into the one I went to. I could've saved myself two left turns.

Both were also PDQ's. Crazy stuff.
