Names and addresses of retail outlet stores selling prints and framed
prints.(ex : Target, Pennys, Cosco, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc... I need
to see one store from each chain, preferably in a perimeter beginning
in Palo Alto and working your way out from there to see a maximum
number of different brand stores.

Headquarters / Central buying offices (addresses, telephone n°, home
decor buyer name if possible, etc) for each chain store.

HI.... Still need your help.  I was actually expecting more store
names in the area south of SF.  I just you a few examples that I knew
of.  here are a few more.
> TJ MAX
> PENNYS
> NORDSTOM
> CRATE AND BARREL
> HALLMARK
  Steinmart (east coast ?)
  Marshalls

There must be many more.....at least I hope so.

Maybe it would help to also give me addresses of the major malls in
the area and I could also look in those, in case you don't find other
stores.

I fifty bucks still good ?  Shouldn't have taken too long for the
first answer.

Thanks

Andy

Hello stick1951-ga -
  
I don't have a central listing of  chain stores that sell prints. Your
total here, with the new stores you've listed, is 12 stores [+ 12
corporate listings].   How many total stores do you need?
  
I don't see $50 for this answer, only 75%.  There's no way to change
the price of a question once it's answered.  You can feel free to use
the tip option however.  Whatever you feel is fair.

Hi........Sorry again...I must not be giving you enough to work on. 
Maybe you would have more listings to look for "home decorations" or
something along that line.

As I mentioned also......maybe a list of major malls in the area ?
Thanks

This link gives comprehensive lists of malls by area.  After you
select an area, look under "Quality of Life" on the left hand side. 
You'll see "Shopping Malls" as an option.

Hey there -
  
I'm sorry, but I have to do all communication through the Google
Answers site.  Did you visit the link I gave you regarding malls? 
There's a thorough list by area on that site.  Let me know if that
won't suffice..
