	Chain store - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chain stores (also called retail chains) are a range of retail outlets which share a brand and central management, usually with standardised business methods and practices.
		Such stores may be branches owned by one company or franchises owned by local individuals or firms and operated under contract with the parent corporation.
		Features common to all chains are centralised marketing and purchasing, which often result in economies of scale, meaning lower costs and presumably higher profits.

		They bought the dominant local chain at the time, Kohls (yes, that was the same Kohls as the department store chain that went national, and the same Kohls as US Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI)) and ran Kohls into the ground, too.
