Richard PennerWhile on a trip, including Kansas City, Dr. Heinz #Doofenshmirtz discovers land is cheaper in the Midwest so that there can be stand-alone franchise stores on their own lots.
Or so I imagine based on this clip from his co-creator and voice actor.
> Now I know what you are going to say,. "Ooh, what a magnificent arch." But that's not the shocking bit. No, not that there are two Kansas Cities right next to each other, I mean can you imagine what a problem that would be in the Tri-State Area? No, there's this brick and mortar building ... well it might be an online business as well, but I didn't check. There's this brick and mortar building with a Subway in it .... and that's the whole strip mall. That's like the best part of any strip mall and it's the Whole Mall! So I came right back and started working on my Strip-Mall-Reduction-inator to cut the terrible bits out of strip malls so they only have the stores that I want to go to. Genius, right!?
