I scraped data about the top 100 chain restaurants by sales at each of the many locations throughout the US. Top 100 restaurants came from http://nrn.com/us-top-100/top-100-chains-us-sales. The data is loaded from Factual through Temboo. I tried to use Corpwatch first, but their API was having problems giving me queries, so I switched to something that would produce a massive amounts of data that I can have more choices working with. I learned to drop my ideas when APIs do not go my way.

Sample Data:
