In the 512 area code at Randall’s grocery store that number comes up as belonging to Rasputin. You can use it as gas stations and it often has 10-30 cents off in rewards per gallon.

This is similar to what Blockbuster used to do when they first opened that made them so successful. They looked up demographics for the areas they opened stores in, and that determined what to stock. Area near a college campus? Less children’s movies. Suburban strip mall? More children’s movies. Etc.
