You can use the random command to display different paragraphs stored in your string object.
For example, say the text display is called "DISPLAY_TEXT" and the paragraph with all the info is called "PARA_STORES".
You could do:
Change Alterable String "DISPLAY_TEXT" to Paragraph (Random(10)+1) "PARA_STORES"
I mean that's the basic idea. I don't have my MMF open in front of me now to verify the exact terminology.

Change Alterable String "DISPLAY_TEXT" to Paragraph (Random(npara("String"))+1) "PARA_STORES".
npara is the counted number of paragraphs in the string object. Adding npara will keep you from having to adjust the value if you decide to add or subtract paragraphs later.
