Two of the same in the same area

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)

Back in the 90s, and maybe into the early 2000s, this intersection 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.

My sister says that you'll know the end of the world is approaching when they finally open up a Starbucks inside a Starbucks.

I feel like busting up a Starbucks in a Starbucks.

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. 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.

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.

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.
