Guessing Game

See if you can fill in the blanks below for company name and location. I’ll post the answers later.

Concerns brewing over company coming to location are misplaced.

It's an encouraging reflection of how well things are going in location these days that little else is causing as much teeth-gnashing among the local intelligentsia than the impending opening of a company.

Oh, the horror!

Company has become one of the most familiar brands on the planet. This annoys those people who believe bigger is never better.

Anti-company fervor is proof that many people believe you should shop where they want you to shop, not where you'd prefer to.

Company is profitable. That will always get you in trouble in some circles.

Company also suffers from the same failing assigned to other major corporations - it hasn't solved world problems, such as Third World poverty.

These aren't high-paying jobs, but they're plentiful with flexible hours, and they help pay rent or tuition.

Actually, it may not be possible to hate company without also opposing free enterprise, entrepreneurialism and capitalism in general. It's a shining example of all three.
