Did you get the OP's mention of KK in their grocery store? Also, I wonder
what "city" means? Here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, we have something
like 25 cities. That would be a maximum of 75 outlets. According to switchboard.com,
we currently have 3. Two of those are within five miles of my northern-suburban
location (but in two different suburbs). I also saw a sign at a gas station (I think
it was SuperAmerica) saying they have KK doughnuts. There are approximately
250 SuperAmerica stations in Minnesota, and I'll guess there are at least 100 in
the metro area. Heck, there are three within (long) walking distance from
my house. There's even a place in Minneapolis that has one on each side
of the street. I guess I didn't think anyone would take "every street corner"
to be anything but hopefully-amusing hyperbole, but it doesn't sound like
I have to go very far for KK.

Property values are not too high in our area, if you're contemplating a move you
can probably trade up from your place in Philly....
