gift cards for restaurants, activities near Elon

Hello - I am going to put together a gift card basket for an incoming freshman. Looking on a map, it doesn’t look like there are a lot of chain restaurants for me to find gift cards. I did see The Root will mail me one, I can try to see if I can find one for Freshii. I don’t see a Starbucks and Java City doesn’t show a gift card.

Most chain places look like they are a distance from campus - will a freshman be able to get to some of the further out locations? Is there a movie theater anywhere nearby?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

When we toured about a month ago, we ate at a Subway right across the street in that little strip mall. It tasted pretty yummy.

Late to answer but would search Burlington. Lots of chains and bus goes to Target plaza. Also think Target is a good option.

basically on campus - Root, Subway, Acorn Coffee Shop, Barnes and Noble, and Tangent are awesome but im not sure if they offer gift cards

in burlington - Starbucks, Biscuitville, Da Vinci’s Table, Target, Ulta, Olive Garden
