The last major fast food chain I remember going into Grande Prairie was Harvey's. They didn't get one until maybe two or three years ago, and then two opened up in the span of a few months.

Starbucks was a late arrival as well, not until the mid-2000s, but once they came in, it wasn't long until there were about a half dozen or more. Carl's Jr also came in about four or five years back.

One thing I've noticed most smaller cities never seem to get is a Taco Bell. Not really sure why.
