oh, what about papa murphy's take and bake?

they're good! :D

according to google, papa murphy's is only central and western US... i'm in eastern US, so we don't have them.

ah, damn, that's too bad. I didn't know that.

eh, it's all right, there's a lot of places that are regional and you don't realise it until you start saying things like 'i picked up dinner last night from wawa' - and then someone asks you what the heck is a wawa? XD

never heard of wawa. o.o

which is why i linked it. it's a convenience store in PA, NJ, DE, ... and FL. =) (and new ones opening in MD and VA!)

VA goer here. We've had wawa for yeeeears and years. Definitely not a new thing.

WE have winco, do you have winco? Winco is the bomb.

winco's pretty neat

Wawa sounds familiar! I guessed it was a gas station and I was right! XD
Haven't seen one in years though since I don't live on the east coast anymore.

I have no idea what any of these things are.

Same here, it just seems like gibberish to me.

"Wawa" is pretty much gibberish.

That said, I drive past one every day.

I was baffled when I moved to Utah and there was no Safeway or Fred Meyers. I had to figure out all these other regional grocery stores. What a pain.

Safeway is called IGA in some parts of the country. There's also... um... some third name for it that I can't remember.

Safeway also runs Carrs, Pak'n Save, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, and Vons. It recently merged with Albertsons, which also runs ACME, Amigos, Jewel-Osco, Lucky, Market Street, Sav-on, Shaw's and Star Market, Super Saver Foods, and United Supermarkets.

incidentally, I'm pretty sure IGA is unrelated.
