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

What's good about Eat n Park?

My daughter loves Steak and Shake, and the burgers are decent, but I'd always rather get Chipotle if we're doing fast food.

Del taco or taco cabana

I haven't read all the previous responses, but my vote is for Once Upon a Child (baby/kids consignment store).

I live near one out of state, and it's awesome!!

(I think there are a few in the outer burbs of VA/MD, but nothing closer in near DC.)

Captain Tony's, in Rochester NY. Or any of the chicken franchises there... (Sal's birdland, etc)

The custard franchises in Rochester (forget the name).

Stewart's! Any other upstate NYers?

Rainbow station (childcare) in Alexandria.

To all of the Sonic posters, isn't there a Sonic in Seven Corners?

Are you thinking of Red Robin?

Yes, I probably am. Sorry about that! Realizing that I have probably never been to a Sonic!

We live in DC and there are none in DC - have to drive 5 miles to the nearest one in VA. Love Arby's, but not enough to drive 10 miles round trip.

If there were a Sonic in 7 corners, the franchise owner would be rich and I would be as big as a house. Cheese tots, a cony, and a Rt 44 vanilla coke!

There's a Sonic in Baltimore. If you're up that way, take 695 to exit 18B Randallstown. Make a right on to Liberty Road and go straight for around a mile. It'll be on your right hand side. (My mother lives up that way.)

There's a Wawa in College Park, a mile or so past Ikea. We need one closer in though, dammit.

I'd also kill for a Krispy Kreme closer in than Gaithersburg.

There's a Krispy Kreme in Dupont. That's closer than close.

Because this is an anonymous board, I will admit I'd like a Waffle House and a Cracker Barrel inside the Beltway for my waffle/pancake needs, and a Braum's for my ice cream fix.
