I said "I think" it's a mid-western thing. Obviously I was uninformed.
And not all of the KK's are doing the free donut thing anymore. I think the franchises (like the one in South Bend) stopped doing it. The ones directly run by hq may still be doing it though.

My Wally world used to have a McDonalds. I know the super center an the sam's club near me have bakeries.

Obviously there are no Walmart Supercentres where you are at.
Only one at present is in Toronto, and it is HUGE. You almost need a GPS navigation system to navigate through that mess.

No supercentres around here. The biggest Wal-Mart in NB is the one they just built in Fredericton. It has a TLE, hair salon, pharmacy, grocery store (minus produce and fresh meat), portrait studio, optometrist and a McDonald's.

Fresh meat - right, that reminds me, there's a deli too. And a huge produce section which I frequently frequent. And the gardening department of course. And did I mention the tax prep area? That's only open during tax season, though.
Edit: And fresh seafood including live lobster.

Our WMSS isn't quite that big. We've got the pharmacy, hair salon, bank, deli, bakery, so-so produce section (I prefer our local Shelton's Farmer's Market for that stuff). No fresh sea food though.

See, where I live, there isn'tmuch need for a Super Centre. THe supermarkets that are near us ( Tops and Wegmans) have better quality products most of the time, carry seafood and produce, and the plazas they are built in have pretty much everything else. And there is a Toys R Us, a Wal mart, a Mall, and other stores within a mile of each of them. There is a Super Centre in Springville, a smaller town slightly further south, which makes sense, as they don't have all these other shops near by.

Well, Walmart is where everyone goes out here. It's the sticks to you urbany types. People from an hour in all directions drive in "to town" meaning this town with 15,000 residents (more 9 months out of the year when the uni is going). The Walmart is the closest thing to a shopping mall you can get without driving an additional couple of hours. Actually I think it's the only place you can even get fresh seafood here. Could be wrong.

Although, it does only take a 20 minute drive to reach the places I mentioned before.
Here in Boston, we have 2 pizza parlors, an italian restaraunt, 6 Bars, 2 gas stations, a little quickie mart, and a school. So, if you really want to get any shopping done, you have to take the 15-20 minute drive into Hamburg, or the same amount of time in the other direction to Springville, and the Wallie World super Centre.

Well, I just moved here. I grew up in a town of 1200 with soybeans and corn in all directions for about 45 miles. Took about an hour to get any shopping done - here, incidentally. I considered it "moving to the city." Nice to see another small-town kid, anyway. Tired of people calling this places with 15,000 people "tiny."
