I have heard that there is s state in the USA that has no Starbucks or McDonalds because they like to focus on local businesses and boutique dining venues and cafes. I would really like to visit this place. Do you know where it is.

Montpelier which is the capital of Vermont does not have a single McDonalds or Starbucks branch. Yes – it is true. However, this should not put you off.
The absence of McDonald’s or Starbucks branches in Montpelier can be attributed to a combination of factors. Firstly, Montpelier is the capital of Vermont and has a relatively small population compared to larger cities. This smaller market size might make it less attractive for major fast-food chains to establish a presence there. Additionally, Montpelier has a strong emphasis on supporting local businesses and fostering a unique local culture. The city may have zoning regulations or community preferences that prioritize local establishments, which could contribute to the absence of these multinational chains.
Despite the lack of McDonald’s or Starbucks, Montpelier offers a range of alternative destinations that showcase its unique charm. Visitors can explore the historic Vermont State House, which provides insight into the state’s political history. Hubbard Park offers beautiful nature trails, picnic areas, and an observation tower with stunning panoramic views. Moreover, Montpelier’s thriving local food scene features independent cafes and restaurants that provide high-quality alternatives to fast-food chains. The Montpelier Farmers Market is also worth visiting for a taste of local produce, crafts, and community atmosphere. Overall, Montpelier’s alternative destinations allow visitors to experience its distinctive character and support the local community.
