What franchises have you seen in other parts of the country that you wish were in the D.C. area?

There is one in Belle View, just South of Old Town.

DC proper used to be riddled with Roy Rogers. No more. Don't know what happened.

A decent frozen yogurt joint! Not the weird sour-tasting stuff, which is all I've seen here. Something like Yogurtini or Peach Wave. I'm sure there are some in DC, but not enough.

Othere than that, what about a smallish 24-hour fitness center, such as Snap Fitness?

FYI, there's a Steak-n-Shake in Fredericksburg.

I was almost born in the bathroom at Farell's! My mom went in to labor in the bathroom and it was soooo far down in the basement. Luckily someone came in and was able to help her. God I miss that place remember the gigantic sundae that everyone ate out of like a big communal bowl? Yuck!

Jason's Deli
Spicy Pickle

Jack in the Box is disgusting!

There are several Jason's Deli's around... Falls Church and Fair Lakes, off the top of my head. I'm from Oklahoma and I haven't heard this one yet - Braum's. Delicious ice cream and burgers and the nicer ones have a mini grocery aisle where you can pick up milk and other goodies. Mmmmmm.

Of course, would settle for an In-n-Out.

I've made the drive to Fredericksburg for Sonic...

Yes, Braum's! I doubt it would ever happen, but what I wouldn't do for a cappuccino chocolate chunky milkshake... And Sonic. (Yes I also lived in OK)
Which-wich (closest one is down in Charlottesville)
TooJay's (south Florida deli)

So excited that Cafe Rio (from Utah) is here now...
