I was more talking about alternatives to chains in general. One of the best restaurants in concord, for instance, is situated exactly in a strip mall. An og strip mall from the dawn of strip malls. Kathmandu bazaar is an ethnic grocery with a food counter. Place is amazing. I want more of that. Not FoodCorp's latest territorial infiltration, if that makes sense. This state is devoid of really worthwhile food. I drive an hour an half routinely to try shit because maybe there's Caribbean in Claremont. Getting giddy for new fast food is icky, imo. That said, I am stoked for popeyes

If it's not a chain, then it's not "Thing you've heard of is coming to New Hampshire!", it's just "New thing opens!".

And I'm with you on the state's food situation. You can find good food, but you have to look a little harder for it. The big offense to me is how much people will overpraise the completely unremarkable stuff.
