5. Actually, they now have a few stores, and I've been...

...a customer of theirs since 1981. :) They started as a family-planning mail order company and helped with family planning in third-world countries (and still do). I went to college just down the road from their original mail-order warehouse. They don't bother anyone and they do business very discreetly and quietly. I remember the "sex police" crackdown that happened in the mid-1980s, and it was absolutely ridiculous. The business was raided without probable cause (they weren't doing anything illegal then or now) and employees were detained and deprived of their Miranda rights. If I remember correctly, they sued and won.

Their stores are clean and tasteful, and their business is beyond reproach (although the fundies have always wanted them out).
