They definitely seem to have spread. In fact here in the UK when towns used to have a variety of individual shops Nowadays most towns have the same type of shops-- so its almost a waste of times travelling to different towns. it is so boring. Big business overtakes so many of us-- so much from overseas as well.

This is something I've come to realize in the last few years... local businesses might sometimes cost a little more money to buy from (and are surprisingly cheaper in some cases), but I think supporting a (good) local business has some good long term effects on society. I'm really not looking forward to a time when there are no choices and we're stuck with the same shitty food and same stupid looking shops in every town. I think that day is unfortunately rapidly approaching.
