We know, we know, we're always hitting you all up with businesses we would like to see in Great Falls.  It's natural to want the city or town you live in to get better and have better more exciting options for dining, shopping and activities.  One thing we haven't addresses so much is what we DON'T want more of.  Now, I say this meaning in an article.  You all spend a lot of time telling us what you DON'T want, but that's on Facebook comments.

I thought I'd take your top DON'T wants, and wrap them up nicely in an article.  Maybe someone on the city commission will read this, too, and remember it when they get another application for one of the below to open up in Great Falls.

Casinos

Google says there are seventy five of them in Great Falls.  You read that right, seventy five casinos.

Coffee Shops

Now, I love a good cup of coffee as much as anyone else.  We have, at least, 20 coffee shops in Great Falls according to Google.  With the exception of inviting Dutch Brothers to town, we can take a break from new coffee shops for a tish.

Town Pump Stores

While there are 8 of them in Great Falls, I think Town Pump jumped the Town Pump shark when they built NEW stores right across the street from each other.  And let's be honest, they can come with a casino.

The newest "We have enough already" businesses are:

Mattress stores

It's odd to me that Great Falls is a hot spot for mattress sales.  We have 14 stores that sell mattresses in Great Falls.  It does seem like we have a lot of them popping up lately.  I'd like to note that Mattress Firm LEFT Great Falls a year or two ago.

Tire Shops

A good tire is getting easier and easier to find in Great Falls.  Currently, Google says there are 22 places to buy a set of tires in The Electric City.
