"I have shopped at your store often, over the past couple of years. Every experience is better than the last, and so, when it came time for me to start applying for work post-graduation, your store was the first place that came to my mind. I have a true appreciation for what you do here."

I've read good reviews online from employees who have worked for your store. I would like to work in an environment that treats its employees well. I like the fact that you are a large chain, and while I don't plan on moving in the near future, if I do perhaps I would be able to easily find employment at another store.
