Always liked Round Table Pizza -- best of the chain pizzerias, in my opinion. But then, they're mostly franchises.
Ross clothing stores -- may not be as familiar to you all back east, but they're the best off-price clothing chain there is. It's kinda like going to the flea market, but you can get a great deal there. A lot of good people on the down-and-out buy their interview clothes at Ross.
PetsMart. In some ways they're a ripoff, in some ways not. But they provide great services, such as pet adoption. And the help all seems happy to be there, except for the guy who has to stock the 50-pound sacks of cat litter and pet food.
Men's Wearhouse. They _are_ going to sell you something, so don't go unless you're ready to buy. But if you need a suit or sportcoat in a hurry and don't have your own preferences, they'll do a very competent job at a fair price.
