Missed It By That Much, Wherein “That Much” Equals 200 Miles

The QAHY World Headquarters recently moved from the St. Louis, Missouri, area to the Springfield, Missouri, area.  That’s about 3 hours travel time if you test the state highway patrol’s speed limit enforcement.

Verizon, which handles the wireless needs of QAHY and its subsidiaries, partially caught on to the move as the following marketing material indicates:

The closest stores are 200 miles away

Procedurally speaking, it would make sense to me to have the promotional material draw nearest store addresses from the address to which the promotional material is going, not to the previous address (or to the current billing address, which I hadn’t changed to that point).

But then again, I am just a customer.  Who’s not going to drive 3 hours to trade in a functional phone for a more expensive model.
