I think the best ones are local without the brand name products. Lately I've noticed a new suburban variation, at least in America, which is the fast foodery or mini-mart that has been abandoned and left remnants of its old but recognizable signs. Nothing suitable for preservation but fun to spot on a long drive.

I spotted one the other day for Bourneville Cocoa that's been recently revealed with the demolition of a neighbouring building.
