Families rely on the convenience of fast food restaurants to help them feed their families when their schedules are overwhelming. It’s fast, convenient and so unhealthy for your body. However, fast food is a way of life for many, which is evidenced by the fact that they are some of the most successful business franchises in the world. Read on to find out which 5 are the biggest.
Starbucks
There are 5,727 Starbucks locations around the world. It really doesn’t seem like that many when you consider the number of places there are in the world. However, it’s considered fast food and it’s the largest coffee shop across the globe. It’s also one of the most loved locations across the world.
Pizza Hut
There are 5,890 Pizza Hut restaurants located across the world, and it’s the biggest pizza chain in the world. The company boasts billions in revenue from the sale of pizza alone each year, making it surpass the competition by a long shot.
Subway
With more than 10,109 restaurant locations across the globe, Subway is the third largest fast food establishment in the world. It’s probably because it’s considered one of the healthier options, even though it’s still not that healthy in comparison to fresh, home-cooked meals.
Kentucky Fried Chicken
When you’re feeding your family a chicken meal complete with mashed potatoes and cole slaw, it just doesn’t feel like fast food. However, it is. And it’s the second largest fast food establishment in the world. There are more than 11,798 KFC locations across the globe.
McDonald’s
The home of the Big Mac is the biggest fast food franchise in the world. It’s an international franchise with approximately 18,710 restaurants located all over the world. Known for their happy meals and “Mc” everything, it’s no wonder McDonald’s is the world’s biggest fast food restaurant.
