There is one within walking distance of my house (about five minutes).
And there is another one in the next town over.

there was one in walking distance, about 0.5 miles, but it closed, the closest one now is about 8 minutes driving time

hehe...at least I took a conservative estimate. Seriously, there's one on just about every block...sandwiched between the sushi places and the nail spas. ;)

There's a lot, nearby yeah, but I think only one within a 5 minute drive. Interestingly I rarely every buy anything from them, and i feel dirty when I do. I just hate their service/highpressure and over-rated crap. But everyonce in a while I can't afford the time to buy from somewhere else. I do wonder how they stay in business though.
