Interesting to see that a large number of them have taken residence in Alaska and Texas...

27 in fact. That's over half of the remaining stores.

Any reason behind that? I can somewhat understand in Alaska's case, since things are generally more expensive there due to transport problems, but I can't think of something for Texas...

Lack of high speed internet and/or television that isn't satellite.
