Nah but most will be where the coal and gas come from....
Not anywhere I've been there aren't.
Remove all the chain franchises which only sell their own branded products and those which are restaurants as such or which are Indian, Chinese, Japanese etc and there's far less than there used to be just selling fish & chips.
Where I used to live many years ago you could stand in one spot and there were 2 of them within sight and just down the road was a chicken & chips place. The whole lot are gone now and in their place is a bakery cafe, a noodle take away place, a Mexican food place, a sandwich shop, McDonald's, KFC and Domino's pizza for food meanwhile the convenience store aspect of it is covered by Coles trading 7 days a week and the service station having swapped the workshop for a convenience store open 24/7.
Same in the area I lived immediately before this one. Like a lot of places there were two fish & chip shops, one on each side of the road. One's still there but the other one closed down, sat empty for quite a while, briefly emerged as a cafe and I see it's now an Italian restaurant of sorts.
Same everywhere. The big fast food chains and things like noodles, Mexican etc have grown, service stations have swapped workshops for convenience stores and are open extremely long hours but actual fish & chip shops aren't anywhere near as common as they used to be. They still exist but not as common as they once were.
Anyone who thinks the world will never stop wanting ever increasing amounts of Australia's coal and gas is in much the same position as someone circa 1985 in the fish & chip business who ignored the growth of franchised fast food and convenience stores in my view. Change happens and there's quite a few reasons to think that coal and gas aren't where it's going to be at in 2050.
You might, but Australia will not kowtow to bullies.No, we must stop watching sky and Fox News.

why wouldn’t you count the chain stores? Not counting them is an appeal to nostalgia rather than to economics.
In 1986 my home town had
2 x fish and chips
1 x chicken shop
1 x Bakery
1 x Chinese takeaway
today with in 3 kms of my child hood home there are
2 x fish and chips
1 x chicken shop
5 x bakeries
2 x Chinese take away
6 x sushi shops
3 x Thai takeaway
2 x Indian takeaway
5 x McDonald’s
2 x Hungry Jacks
2 x Subway
2 x Dominoes Pizza
3 x KFC
2 x donut shops
Also countless others I have missed, plus new pubs, clubs, cafes and restaurants.
Just because they aren’t the old fashioned type with the Coca Cola signs doesn’t mean the take away industry has shrunk, it it selling more meals than ever, employing more people than ever, and producing more profits than ever.
China probably sees itself as the one being bullied because of the abuse it is getting from others.
The Milky Bar Kid bought them all hoping to corner the milk bar market. But there just was not enough Aussies buying milk. So he tried to dump the excess Milk Bars cheaply to China. But the Chinese saw that Australia was trying to dump cheap Milk Bars on their market and complained to the WTO using anti-dumping laws. The WTO could not make up their mind and so China threatened Australia that they would cut off their oxygen supply (in a bold move in 2020, whilst the West was weak, China had claimed all the rights to the air above 1 m around the world by claiming it was historically part of China), if they did not stop dumping. The result was that the Milky Bar Kid went bankrupt and went "off" after staying too long in Kevin Rudds, porch fridge (which was only working intermittently), at his Noosa retreat.What happened to the Milk Bars, that's what I want to know.
As would taking population into account, i am sure VC your town suburb population is much higher, and it could be nostagia count are related to dying townswhy wouldn’t you count the chain stores? Not counting them is an appeal to nostalgia rather than to economics.

No vegetarian lol

yep population is huge now in comparison, but ofcourse a dying town will have less shops of all types.
you can get inventive, on road trips I have ordered McDonald’s hamburgers without the patty (you save a $1) and added extra mustard, onions, pickles and ketchup, and then I add fries to to.
It’s the best chip sandwich ever, hahaha.
ketchup,
They got hipsterised by the almond, lactose-free, coconut milk, lite milk, soy sauce, soy milk, decaffeinated beverage imbibing and smooshed-avocado open sandwich consuming trend-setters.What happened to the Milk Bars, that's what I want to know.
Wasn't it you that suggested people start enjoying their money, and stop worrying about other peoples money? It must have been a long night shift.Hopefully your 8th grandchild gets to keep their franking credits since you and your choice of government have sold out their working conditions.......
What happened was Morrison had just got off a phone call to Trump.Then Morrison called for an enquiry.My guess is that China sees Australia doing the barking for the US,as well as being undiplomatic and rude.BWhaaa, a billion people being bullied by li'l old Australia, come on.
That's tomato sauce mate, or do you use imported American stuff ?
Surely it’s a City to have that many Crapdonalds
