When finding a place to acquire a unit, tools such as Google Maps and CodeHusky's RedBox store browser ( https://codehusky.com/redboxsearch/ )can prove to be useful tools in the field. After you have found a suitable location, make sure to verify the unit is still in the listed location, either by physically evaluating the store, looking on google maps, or by contacting the store.
