Cracker Barrel vs. Whole Foods is maybe the most commonly talked about cultural signifier among chains. Sports is a good one too; fans of soccer or the NBA tend to be left-leaning, while fans of college football, NASCAR, or golf fans tend to be right-leaning.

What about those of us who have never been in either of these places in their life?

It's really more about proximity (and what the presence of those chains says about the communities that voters live in) than actually going.
