I mean don't the Americans have a lot of really long streets all full of housing? Also note the one closed permanently being off the line.

While that is true, there are 2 things to unpack here: 1. Typically housing is zoned in different locations to businesses so this has no correlation. 2. This map is so big that none of those stores are actually in Chicago. They are all in the suburbs and it would literally take you 1.5 - 3 hours to get from the southern most one to the northern most one. They're all a lot farther apart than you may realize.

I was wondering how they could possibly need that many Hobby Lobbies in one city

None I'm aware of. Certainly not in Chicago, lived there a couple of years. There's a half-mile straight run of houses in my neighborhood back home, but that's unusual and only because it was originally an airstrip.

A long, straight road like that is going to be zoned commercial, no houses at all. Flip that around and a Hobby Lobby can't be in a residential zone.
