Or it is a 3/4 mile hike from the store on one side of the shopping complex to the store on the other across a massive asphalt heat sink...we have one "shopping" center that is mostly big box stores. You start at one end and start driving and it is almost 1.5 miles from one end to the other and they are in a big long line
