I need some names of shops that are chains... and preferably ones that are in Australia. But if you're not in Australia, just tell me some ideas anyway!

The shops can be for food, (not fast food), clothes, other things...

More points for the funnier it is to say!

eg, the british (i assume it's british, but lets not get into that) "Top Shop" how cool is that to say.
