I see nothing wrong with a chain opening up downtown IF it is NOT already in the metro AND they have an urban design - i.e. no McDonalds with a drive through. Boston Market, being one of the nicer fast food chains and since its NOT already n the metro might fit in well downtown. They need to keep an urban design though.

Whole Foods is a chain and I don't think anybody would object to them opening up downtown.
