I thought the recent news that McDonald's is no longer the largest fast food chain on the planet by number of locations was more interesting. Dethroned by a China's Mixue bubble tea franchise.
- eeemmmooo 2y agoThey haven’t been for a long time. Subway has a lot more locations than McDonald’s does.
- shric 2y agoBut Subways, at least here in Australia, are usually empty or almost empty. McDonald's are almost always packed.
- Ylpertnodi 2y agoAaaah, Subway. Used to be great, but an 8 inch sandwich(four pieces of cucumber wide) on an 11 inch piece of bread that has doubled in price, with the quality constantly dropping...I used to eat there every day. Not been for three years, now.
- madcaptenor 2y agoSubway is the closest place to buy food to my office, so I only eat there on days when I forgot to bring lunch and I'm pressed for time. That's always a bad day.
- olalonde 2y agoMost Mixue locations are tiny takeaway kiosks though.
- madcaptenor 2y agoWikipedia has a list of fast food chains with number of locations and revenue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_fast_food_restaurant_chains https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_fast_food_... By number of locations, the top 5 are: Mixue, McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway, KFC. By revenue (note sorting in that table seems to be sorting strings), the top 5 are: Starbucks, KFC, Burger King, McDonalds, Chick-Fil-A. I'm surprised to see Burger King ahead of McDonalds.
