Guess Who Is The Largest Fast Food Chain Now
Posted On April 19, 2011
Good News!! McDonald’s is no longer the world’s largest restaurant chain. That honor now goes to Subway.
Of course, there are items at Subway that you should avoid (like the monster Meatball and Cheese sub) … and there are things at a McDonalds that are not bad for you (like their salads).
But, what this tells us is that the culture is starting to shift around us, as people start choosing options that are generally, in the main, healthier for us.
The Data
The sandwich giant just passed the golden arches in terms of number of locations, according to the Wall Street Journal. Subway had 33,749 restaurants open worldwide at the end of 2010.
McDonald’s had just 32,737 locations open by the same point, the corporation disclosed in SEC filings.
According to the WSJ, the chain just opened its 1000th location in Asia, and sees international growth as the future.
