stores are owned and operated locally and aren't copied and pasted global monoliths
- JKCalhoun 4y agoIt used to be fun to travel, even locally within the U.S., and see new stores and places you did not have back home. I never thought I would say this, but this Western world is becoming a downright boring place to live.
- Gud 4y agoThose stores exist too, though.
- hacym 4y agoIt’s funny you’re saying that on a site accessible within fractions of a second form pretty much anywhere in the world.
- chrisseaton 4y agoIf they're all selling furniture why do they need to be any different? What's different between the requirements of a low-end furniture store like Ikea in New York and one in San Francisco that would mean there's any sense in running them differently?
- TeMPOraL 4y ago> stores are owned and operated locally You mean franchised. And while perhaps not the dictionary definition, in practice it is the literal definition of a franchise that every instance looks the same as every other one.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoI don't thing franchises have to be so boring though, maybe a lot of people aren't old enough to remember... but McDonalds franchises, despite having mostly the same food, used to have the freedom to get a little weird with how the location looked.
