Joe's

"Eat at Joe's." A slogan recognized multiverse-wide, Joe's is a franchise of fast food restaurants that can be found in nearly every reality. There are approximately two Joe's in every square mile of Urbana. Sidewalk cafes of Aquarius sport Joe's chow. One of the only businesses to operate more than a year in Antiparadisia is -- you guessed it! -- a Joe's.

It's not that Joe's food is GOOD, however. It's primarily formed out of grease, fat, and various unidentifiable animal parts. But it's popular, it's fast, and it's very cheap. You can either drop a lot of points on some local specialty at a mom and pop restaurant which you might end up being allergic to since your home reality doesn't have the same kind of ecosystem, or you can go with the name you know and have some comfortably familiar Joe's chow.

Plus, Kiddie Meals come with a free toy. Who can say no to a free toy?

Joe's remains exclusively a restaurant-driven franchise, without expanding into take-home groceries. For Joe-esque munchies from the convenience of your own home, you'll want to buy some Krap.

Joe himself lives in Pia Pia, the world from which all Joe's food originates. Joe is techncially an employee of RealWare and a portion of all profits go to them, but beyond some co-promotion the two don't interact much.
