There was no war until a map was presented lol

It's just a name, but those franschises would likely consider it a real fight for prime real estate and customer base, each aiming to overtake the others.

It took quite a while for the overlay to appear. Be patient if you want to see the data.

I live in Japan. This is great! Though with all the overlay it’s hard to pinpoint my neighborhood. A gps loc button or the ability to temporarily turn off the colors would help! Thank you for making such a fun thing :)

Nice concept but struggled to find my area. Short of search or using my location it would be nice to have a line overlay (lines which go underground are obscured currently).

I would really like to know some stats about the Voronoi cells, like average size, largest and smallest...

Often, several stores belonging to the same chain are located in close proximity to each other so that goods can be distributed more cheaply and frequently. This strategy is known as dominant policy (ドミナント政策, dominanto seisaku).[1]

A few years ago, I was in Wroclaw and it was full of convenience stores.

Where I stayed, you could go to a store and from there see the next one already.

These Japanese YouTubers decided to play a game, they got off a station earlier than their home and to walk home from there, but whenever they pass a Conbini they'd have to pick 6 items and roll a dice and buy that item from the 6. There's a lot of stores...
