International chain of shops
My husband is currently learning German as we want to bring up our son bilingually (I'm German). He recently took a course in Bamberg in the South of Germany. After his lessons, we went for walks through the town and he was very excited to find a shop he had seen before in Mönchengladbach: Schau mal, Apotheke, das muss eine Kette sein! Look, Apotheke, this must be a chain of shops! In fact, Apotheke is the Geman word for 'chemist's' and there certainly are several shops of this 'chain' in every town of Germany.

Actually, all German Apotheken are cooperating and have the same sign (a capital A). That would have tributed to your husband's opinion!
