Is there a way you can find out what retail store sells a certain product/brand?

Question

For example, some sort of website database?
That way I might be able to take back unwanted gifts and receive store credit.

Answer 1

in all seriousness, just look the manufacturer up on the internet and go to its site. normally, you find a "store locator" for your town.

in a little frolick, but true: many people retain gifts that they do not want to give to someone else. but the ettiquette rules say that you must never bring the present back to the place where they gave it to you, or let someone of that group have it back. and in more merriment:

i just gotta say this. my grandmom was a skinflint. so she purchased the most ATROCIOUS rhinestone brooches for my mom and her sister, who would hold them for a couple of years, trade them, and then give them back to my grandmother! she oooed and awwed at them when she opened them!
