      Hated competing with them even before they were this big like 20 years ago. Can’t win on price but can’t hate on em bc they’re not cdw, it’s a super successful asian woman owned business success story.

    bred bull.

    SAudi might be some kind of cultural appropriation?

    The home despot where dictators get more done!

    ICBM… A very different kind of international business

    GAPE opens up more than stores.

    I looked through too many brand names to come up with these.

    I couldn’t think of anything other than replacing the g in king to make Burger Kink.

    Doesn’t necessarily fit, but it’s the best I could come up with.
