The names of the independents in my neighborhood are (with repeat mentions of the same name indicating multiple locations and location's I've tried in bold):

The 96 locations sounds like a lot (and there are definitely some missing, such as Avianos, Scooter Joe's, and Daphne's Deli, and essentially all of the drive through expresso kiosks in town), until you consider that a five mile radius of my zip code includes the vast majority of the population of the City and County of Denver, a city of about half a million people, and some people in the surrounding suburbs.
