  6. 'BUCKS' GETTING 'DUNK'EDNYC CHAIN JAVA JOUST A new study shows what many an old-time New Yorker has been griping about for years - chain stores appear to be taking over.

Bowles noted that some home-grown chains are also doing well. Duane Reade is in the top 10, and beddingbehemoth Sleepy's comes in at No. 12. And home-appliance giant P.C. Richard and urban clothiers Jimmy Jazz and VIM all rank above the likes of Target, Kmart and Costco……For more about this article, presshere
