Gift Cards & Local UDel Stores

<p>Can anyone tell me if there are local restaurants that sell gift cards or what other national chains (ie; Target, Walmart, etc) that are nearby? Friends and family keep asking what to get my son for graduation and I think gift cards might be better answer than cash that will be used up before he even gets there!</p>

<p>The only national chains I can think of on/near Main St. (walking distance) are Panera, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts and McDs. DD loves that Panera and is happy to get cards for there. Closeby if you drive are Fridays, Applebees, Red Robin, Friendlys, Bertuccis, Bennigans, Cracker Barrel, Wendys, Taco Bell etc etc... There are so many great places to eat on Main St. There is a Dollar Tree off Main St and they sell cards. A Kmart is close but the nearest Target is in Wilmington. I think they are missing a great opportunity by not building one closer! Maybe people could give him a bank giftcard that acts like a debit card he could use anywhere.</p>

<p>You can get a gift certificate for the town of Newark. Check out this link:</p>

<p>This includes Lieberman's Bookstore and Delaware Book Exchange, where you can buy textbooks, plus many other great places to eat like Klondike Kate's, Cafe Gelato, and Grotto Pizza.</p>

I live in Delaware, with a Newark mailing address but I'm actually up off Limestone Road closer to Hockessin. Target has "targeted" (I had to) a site on Kirkwood Highway at Possum Park Road. Not sure how solid it is or when it will happen - I'm having a hard time imagining how they are going to squeeze a Target in there. Long walking distance for UD students, but I suspect the bus system will go there.</p>
