A cluster of at least a half-dozen nationally recognized chain eateries, hotels and retail stores. They are located in suburban areas and in rural regions at the crossings of two or more major highways. Franchise-ghettos thrive in areas of low population density that have heavy motor vehicle traffic. They generate lots of revenue but sap local communities of originality and commercial diversity, giving thousands of American communities a bland sense of sameness.
The "Goodman Rd @ I-55 Corridor" is a massive franchise-ghetto located in the suburban Memphis cities of Southaven & Horn Lake. This area of only one square-mile features an Applebee's, Arby's, Baskin Robbins, Best Western, Buffalo Wild Wings, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A, Chuck E Cheese's, Courtyard By Marriot, Cracker Barrel, Crystal's Hamburgers, Drury Inn, Dunkin Donuts, Edible Arrangements, Firehouse Subs, Five Guys Burgers, Golden Corral, Hampton Inn, Hardee's, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Home2 Suites, IHOP, KFC, Logan's Roadhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, McDonald's (x2), Motel 6, O'Charley's, Olive Garden, On The Border, Outback Steakhouse, Popeye's Chicken, Red Lobster, Residence Inn, Sonic, Starbuck's (x2), Steak 'n Shake, Subway (x2), Taco Bell, TGI Friday's and Wendy's.

Get the Francene mug.Don't knock it until you've tried it. I have been there two times, and my brother now has lived there for over a year. All the negative stereotypes are untrue, the people there are clean and friendly. And the positive stereotypes are true, they have a great culture, wine, food, etc. You can't say that France is a bad country unless you have firsthand experience. So to all of you rednecks, please, sell your trailer and visit this beautiful country so you can realize that you're just jealous of the French, you don't hate them.
Redneck- France is full of a bunch of smelly assholes!!!
Me- How would you know? You live in a trailer and watch CMT all day... get a life.
