This only counts number of stores. Subway actually over-franchised because they were willing to offer a location to pretty much anyone who wanted one with very lenient terms to the point where you could have 2 subways only a couple blocks away stealing each others business.
Important Notes: 1976 - McDonald's took over as largest fast food chain 1989 - McDonald's opened 10,000 locations 1999 - KFC opened 10,000 locations 2000 - Subway beats KFC, and becomes the second biggest fast food chain 2005 - Starbucks beats KFC, and becomes the third biggest fast food chain 2007 - The top 5 largest fast food chains have all each opened 10,000 locations 2009 - Subway beats McDonald's, and becomes the largest fast food chain 2021 - McDonald's beats Subway, and becomes the largest fast food chain 2023 - Starbucks beats Subway, and becomes the second largest fast food chain
Does not include franchise stats. All the ones you mentioned are 90% franchise except Starbucks. Easy for a corporation to hand out franchise licenses and expand rapidly, it costs them nothing. Starbucks is 100% corporate owned.
Actually quite impressive that DQ was on top for over a decade. Granted they started earlier than McDonald’s but it still took several years for McDonald’s to pass them.
thats what I thought. McDonalds as a corporation started in 1955, 15 years after the first restaurant opened, & it took them until 1976 according to this info we see here, to be the largest. Hence DQ which has been around since 1938-40 (around the same time as the 1st McD's) was the largest chain as early as 1950. Only 10-12 years, in contrast to 21-38 years for McD's.
We need more Arby’s. Here in all of LA there are only like three of them. There use to be one in Woodland Hills but even that one closed. “Feels like an Arby’s night.”
Where are the numbers coming from? Are you just taking the start : 0 , and the end number and working out how long the video runs for, how many years per x amount of time and then randomising speed ups and slow downs? (Edit- its a legitimate question, not a dig at you)
Larger domestic market? I'm guessing Mixue and Lankin are also internal Chinese brands. And I got a sad about Burger Chef not even showing up; did they leave that little record behind?
Is Starbucks a "fast food" restaurant? I thought they sold drinks, like a kind of coffee. I´ve always experienced problems trying to order things there, so I don´t go. Like when I tried to order a large chocolate, they asked, "¿grande?" and so I spoke to them in Spanish, "sí, que me das un chocolate grande" and they still didn´t seem to understand. Strange.
I am surprised that DQ was the largest fast food chain in the 1950s-60s. The chain started in 1938-1940. Grew faster than I thought.
I’m not! When my late grandparents were in their 20’s and 30’s, they normally eat from DQ and brought
it home.
Subway had a closer run with McDonalds then I expected
Same
Subway is good
Subway choked

Reading this saved me 7 minutes and 50 seconds of my day. TIME IS VALUBLE!!
I love Starbucks
But will luckin coffee take over because they’re growing fast at the last second
Loved going to A&W when I was a kid.😊
I once walked out of a Starbucks and found myself standing inside another Starbucks 😂
I've actually seen a video on RUclips years ago that had a Starbucks across the street from Starbucks 😂😂
This is how America is conquering the world...with snacks.
Pretty sure Mixue is Chinese.
Ain't no one has heard of "Mixue Ice Cream and Tea" there is NO way it is #4 at the end.
It's a Chinese company. This is a list of largest chains in the world.
world wide you drooling hick, not US wide.
They're pretty big around asia.One of the biggest ice cream in here
That Was Amazing !!!!!!! 😃😃😃

No I noticed before I saw this comment
Never heard of Arbis 🤔
No meeee
Arby’s, We Have The Meats!
I saw it before the video was made😂
Do an Europe country population video
Amazing how so many became obsessed with overpriced burnt coffee in recent years.
Lmfaooo😂
Starbucks is the "apple" of the coffee shop world. Just a fashion accessory/ status symbol because it costs so much.

I work at Dairy Queen. The location i work at is fairly popular.😊
Missed Burger Chef in the 60’s and 70’s. They had around 2000.
The slow and painful death of A&W! 💔😢
i dont even care about the stats, the music was fire
I will not stop this until you put the song names and artists in the disc or the end of videos
0:00 - Dairy Queen (1950)
2:47 - McDonald's (1976)
6:19 - Subway (2009)
7:38 - McDonald's (2021)
Dislike👎
Good channel!
Dairy Queen and A&W still two of the best tasting...
Buen video ya falta un poco mas y llegas a 20K subscriptores keyson stats
Wow very interesting how fast food chains/restaurants have changed over the years and how popular they are
Burger Chef had over 1000 locations in 1973.
I noticed they were conspicuously absent.
Same thing here as well.
Jersey Mike’s #1 in 2030
TRUE
Wow so good MacDonalds
We need more Arby’s.
Here in all of LA there are only like three of them. There use to be one in Woodland Hills but even that one closed.
“Feels like an Arby’s night.”
Is this the net worth, how much each company makes or how much they have? Explain
Believe it's how many locations
Oh ok
@@johnnyc447how did subway lose so many locations then?
Net worth will definitely McDonald There's no way KFC beat that
KFC THAT HIGH IN THE START SHEESH MC DEZZ JUST THE BESTTTTTT 😊😊😊
Next do this but with stores
Hmm I love *Arbis*

Wow I Just Like
That's insane
At the end I was like no Starbucks beat McDonald's!
McDonald's will win
Yup
People who strongly support Palestine boycotts McDonald’s & etc.: No they’re not
Yes we need more broke college students
nah mcdonald’s is bad
no fast food restaurants are good anymore
@@justinatior yeah it's tru tbh
Please put the names of the songs and artists in the disc or the end of vids
What is the name of the soundtrack? Love the video, that wass awesome!
Nevermind got it. It is called 'Say Boodbye' by Unknown Brain. :)
❤❤❤😊😊М
Greatest thing ive evr watched
Quite interesting why wallance(a CN-only low price burger chain) could have more shop than burger king
Larger domestic market? I'm guessing Mixue and Lankin are also internal Chinese brands. And I got a sad about Burger Chef not even showing up; did they leave that little record behind?
Ive never heard of mixue...
Me to
Must not be in the United States. China perhaps?
china's biggest bubble tea brand, also started opening chainstores in east asia, southeast asia and oceania since last year
Must be a worldwide list
Burger King may have those 19,000 locations but the ones in Australia are called Hungry Jack’s.
I like McDonalds, in-n-out, burger king, dunkin' donuts, and starbucks
Anyone else get hungry after watching this? 🍔🍟🍕🌮
McDonald’s,Starbucks,subway
Dang! I forgot Baskin-Robbins was at the start of the video!
Everybody be hating on BK😢
Ik
@@Zqrzyytranslate English = I that means you hate BK
or wendys
Mc donalds was so close to winning then subway hit 45,000
Then Subway hired a militant lesbian spokeswoman. How'd that work out?
Arbis instead of Arby's lol
I like MrBeast burger
There’s still not enough stores to meet the demand for Starbucks 😳
Starbucks is the Apple of coffee, overpriced and overhyped.
6:08 don’t do it subway 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Startbucks should not be considered a fast food chain
Mc-D : Making America fatter since 1951
I don't know how KFC or Burger King lasted as long as it has.
Top 3 I don’t even eat At anymore not since the great 90’s
Skip it to the chicken! 5:18 10001
Yes my favorite restaurant wins
Wendys
Bro, McDonald’s and Jack-in-the-Box were next to each other in 0:41
And now they are 😂5:29
What does the number stand for
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!
DQ was the first invented fast food in Michigan.
Will the real Fast Food Fans please stand up.
Three In-n-Outs and zero McDonalds in 1951? Don't you hate these Johnny come latelies?
Chick-fil-A?
Where's the beast burger?
Bk
5:15 Here comes Starbucks
Awesome
Jollibee will be in the list soon
Song name please?

I stopped going to Starbucks 7 years ago. Starbucks has morphed into a cyber cafe and I hate cyber cafes. They bore me.
Hol up which way are u measuring these?
Probably Locations
Franchise increase per year
Kentucky Fried Chicken✅
Subways fast
Amazing but you forgot mrbeast burger 😡
That's not a real place other then that one in the mall it's a ghost kitchen
You can only get it from online. You can’t go to a physical place.
