It really hard to choose who is my favorite a lot of thems is very good foods .70 % of the fast food restaurant that show on video is my favorite. 🙂🙂🙂🍔🍔🍟🍟🍕🍕🍕🌮🌮🌯🌯🍩🍩🍩🍦🍦🥓🥓mmmmmm foood restaurants.
According to McDonald's own site, they only had 1 store in 1954 and didn't start adding franchises until after 1955. This chart has them at 358 locations in 1950. It has me questioning all these videos now.
As I’m not American I don’t know if I should feel surprised or not that Subway overtook McDonald’s, but looking at my country (Australia) we have heaps more subway outlets than McDonald’s outlets and this is because Subway expanded into small towns of like 1,000 or 2,000. There’s even a drive thru subway in a town of 700 people about 2 hours from where I live.
@@alkdjfhgks1919 the original owners were swindled out of thier own company by ray croc " the founder" of mcds. Mcds isn't even a fast food company anymore. It's a real estate company. They buy and own the land the restaurant sits on. So if you don't follow what the say, you lose the lease to the stores name, products and plot of land.
This is locations not actual revenue: McDonald's: $37 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Starbucks: $13 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Subway: $10.8 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Burger King: $10 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Taco Bell: $9.8 billion in system-wide U.S. sales.
If you compare in Puerto Rico alone (3500 sq. mi. or so) there were in 2017 (before Hurricane María) 120-130 Mc Donald's and BK's, but ~ 240 Subways (those are in 2021 barely above 200). So it CAN happen. And in some places Starbucks can be as abundant as Subways.
@xxtine Yeah and alot of times subway will put i buildings that are just big enough for the food line. and because of that size they will put multiple subways in a town. My home town wasn't that big, but we had 3 subways, one of them being in walmart. no other restaurant had more then one in our town
One sunny afternoon, old man McDonald and his friend Orange Julius were sitting around in their pizza hut playing dominos when they decided to go out and get something to eat. They took the subway downtown and went into their favorite Mexican restaurant. They rang the taco bell for service, and Wendy the cashier promptly appeared. She informed the duo, that unfortunately, the restaurant had just run-out of burritos, but some excellent fried chickens had just been flown-in from Kentucky. "Fantasic!" exclaimed old man McDonald, "how much do they cost?" "They're five bucks apiece," Wendy replied. "Oh no," old man McDonald said sadly, " I don't have that much cash on hand. Can I pay with credit?" "No," Wendy explained, "we only accept cash." At just that moment their friend the burger king, who lives on the sun, teleported into the restaurant and said, "Don't worry friends, I have a pocket full of star-bucks!"
It is rather impressive that McDonalds had 358 locations in January of 1950. Considering the fact that the franchise did not get founded until 1955 by Ray Crock with 9 locations.
... that's because they weren't known as Starbucks until around 1998. Before this (you may have heard of this name) they were known as 'The Seattle Coffee Company'. Evidently it's not as succinct as Starbucks, which is probably why the name was changed. It was at this point that the whole 'mega coffee chain' thing started to take off outside of America. This was especially noticeable in the UK where I'm from. In the UK we have big domestic rivals to Starbucks - Costa, and also Cafe Nero.....both of which are huge in the UK, and have held their own against Starbucks. Very surprised Starbucks had yet to overtake McDonald's in the US, as it overtook McDonald's here in the UK many years ago. It's been more successful than McDonald's (in the UK) for over a decade now.
@@starmc26 The combination of the enormous clout that supermarkets now have in the British high street, coupled with the strongly established bug coffee chains has seen a huge chunk taken out of McDonald's profits, here in the UK. Domestically, don't underestimate the power of Tesco - they have pushed McDonald's back for sure. I can't speak for the US, only what's happened here in the UK.
Subway had probably the best fast food marketing campaign in history. They were actually able to convince people that their sandwiches were healthy. One of my old co-workers believe that getting a meatball sub twice a week was MUCH better for his health than getting a BigMac twice a week.
@@peterkovach8655 eh say what ya want about what Jared turned into to or got convicted of, but he's probably the 2nd most recognizable fast food mascot behind Ronald McDonald. And that was before everyone knew him for being a pedo.
It should be noted too that an average Subway serves far fewer customers than an average McDonald’s, so even though Subway has more total locations, their sales are probably much lower. And they’ve become very over saturated with stores cannibalizing sales from one another. It’s started to decline pretty significantly.
That's partially it. For the longest time (and, possibly, still) they were the cheapest & easiest to franchise with. My Dad almost bought into one back in the day, and we were by no means rich...
@@michaelv3340 Ah hah! I thought it seemed familiar, but I was pretty sure I'd never seen any restaurants. Now 'Orange Julius' is the only one I don't think I've ever seen.

Even when taking into account the original Dick and Mac McDonald’s, they had 14 franchises in 1948. Please help clarify the discrepancy.
@@Fordry They were just a local Seattle chain in the early 80s and we only considered the Pike Place store as real. Things went south as they expanded since the hand picked, small batch ethos of the original couldn't be replicated on the large scale they've become. I used to love their coffee and now I despise it.
wow.. this is one of the most interesting ones I have seen. Watching the founder and just always hearing the Mcdonalds story I always assumed they were the of fast food franchises. Its crazy to see how long they were an underdog. Orange Julius really kinda of blows my mind, you never hear of their story. i never would've guessed they were such a prominent franchise for such a long time. you only ever see them in malls anymore, don't know if I've ever actually been to one tho
The actual reason there’s so many subways is that it’s cheap to start a subway, it only costs like 200 000$, where as opening a mcdonalds costs 1-2 million
Super excellent thank you!! Can you please re-make this with the top 20 or 30, not only ten, surely you can squeeze in more information by cutting the thickness of the bars in half or less!!!♥♥♥♥
Orange Julius: I used to be one of the top restaurant chains in the world until February 2009 where I was forgotten and now everyone only knows me as the nondairy item at dairy queen
I remember going to the mall and my brother getting an Orange Julius. I just thought it was a drink (milk + OJ), I didn't know if was a popular franchise.
I do love A&W since I was in Canada. I miss it in Europe. Fun thing is, here in Germany nearby every McDonald's there is a Burger King. I am surprised there are so much less stores.
where i live burger king is considered pretty shitty. but i’ve had mcdonalds when i lived in germany, and your mcdonalds is vastly inferior to American/Canadian mcdonalds, while your burger king isnt half bad
When I came to Germany first time, I thought Burger King is a German name for McDonalds (Ok, I was from USSR, so not very versed in brands, but I just saw McDonalds in US, and Burger King in Berlin looked identical besides the name)
i'm pretty sure they took such a big hit, because during the 2000s a story got released about how their genetically modified their chickens to have no mouths or buttholes... And that spread like wildfire. I remember people talking about it a LOT. I think thaty might have had something to do with the drop
KFC at my city closed for a year or 2 (Maybe even 3) Something happened with raw chicken or the chicken machine wasn't working, maybe I forgot now cuz it's been open back for awhile now.
Yes, Subway surpassed McDonald's in restaurants because they don't need to cook everything making their restaurant size smaller and able to fit in more places like plazas and inside Walmarts
I’ve never heard of Orange Julius. Was surprised to see it hold on so long before dropping off. I’m not surprised about Subway and it’s very quick rise. I love Subway and eat there often.
I recall when you could have a raw egg added to your Orange Julius. (This was 70s/80s) It made it taste kind of richer the way Egg Nog would be parallel to that. Of course they stopped that at some point due to health codes/food safety. Everyone always went there when going to the mall. It was almost a given.
Horse racing commentary on these videos would be epic “And subway is closing the gap on McDonald’s going down the back stretch, and it’s Subway surprisingly surpassing the great Ronald McDonald to take the lead and pulling away fast and it’s SUBWAY winning the Kentucky Fried Derby!!!”
There is a subway at every truck stop, nearly every Walmart, almost every gas station, every small town. But I never knew it was bigger than McDonald's.
This is locations not actual revenue: McDonald's: $37 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Starbucks: $13 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Subway: $10.8 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Burger King: $10 billion in system-wide U.S. sales. Taco Bell: $9.8 billion in system-wide U.S. sales.
Fun fact: KFC actually didn't start in Kentucky, it started in Utah. Col. Sanders was from Kentucky and had a restaurant there, but the KFC name didn't exist yet. After meeting Pete Harman at a restaurant convention, he introduced Harman to his fried chicken recipe. Harman began selling it in his own restaurant, referring it to as "Kentucky Fried Chicken," which he said was "Finger lickin' good." It was so popular, Sanders began licensing the name and recipe all across the country.
Fun fact: KFC sued Sanders because he trashed their food in interviews because they changed some of the recipes. He also traveled around to locations, walked in, walked behind the counter and started making the chicken himself to teach employees proper way to make it, even though he was just a spokesman and face of the business
Wow, look at Subway go!! I thought I knew a lot about American culture but confess I have never heard of Orange Julius until now. Never seen it mentioned in books, TV or Film (at least not that I can remember) and even though I've visited the US a dozen or so times I've never seen one in person. To think how much of a market leader it was and for so long is astounding.
You hunt people down and force them to make your pizza for you. Similar to the greatest game but with pizza. Pretty fun. You win prizes for how many people you can hunt down. I made this up.
Not sure what exactly they're measuring, but Subway has a very low startup cost compared to other franchises. They also do. not regulate their stores like McDs does.
What is meant by "biggest"? Does it mean largest quantity of operations or units? And if so, in N.A. or the world? or does it mean the highest in sales dollars?
@@corvetcoyote443 also want to add that McDonald’s only had one location in 1950 in San Bernardino and the chart claims that McDonald’s has 358. No way did McDonald’s have 358 locations in 1950. Am I missing something here?
I worked for Starbuck in 1988 we were ONLY the 33rd Starbucks in the world when we opened in 1988 in Bellevue, WA . In fact, I don't believe Starbuck expanded outside of Washington state until 1991. If the Starbuck numbers are WAY out of line I now question ALL other numbers.
It's not that amazing. At the end of each year he puts in the restaurant chains with the highest numbers. Then has a computer count up to that number and the bar graphic slides accordingly. He doesn't go month to month like he should
Question, does something like Burger King include their Australian arm called Hungry Jacks?? When BK first entered Australia in the 1960's, there was already a burger joint in Sydney with the registered business name Burger King. The owner refused to sell the rights to the name, so down under got the name Hungry Jacks.
I like how A&W was like, hey I made it on the board. Funny thing, they tried to beat the Quater Pounder by selling I believe a 1/3lb for the same price. But people didn't know math and thought it was less.
My only experiences there are super dry fried chicken and biscuits. Also, my parents have commented on them having poor hires. Id honestly prefer Popeyes.
Most of KFC restaurants are franchised and KFC take a cut off the profits from those Franchises. Since KFC was a had a lot of competition with other fast food restaurants so many choose different restaurants during that time. Resulting less people to profit form so many locations failed. Not until 2008 Economic crash, where many of KFC competition started to fail so KFC was able to gain back from it's downfall. IDK, that's the right reason but been watching a lot of Company Man videos so that's the best I can do.
Now its incredibly popular in Japan a Christmas thing that started there was buying KFC except you need to pre order your KFC for Christmas generally a month in advance
Growing up in the 70's I remember that Taco Bells, at least where I lived had a fire going outside their restaurants. It was a raised brick structure that was filled with lava rocks, the fire was from natural gas burners. I'm not sure why they got rid of them but if I had to guess someone complained about them wasting natural gas. I would guess that most people have never even heard of Orange Julius and I can verify that during the 70's KFC was very popular.

This list changed surprisingly little. I expected it to start with a bunch of restaurant chains I'd never heard of, but the only one I don't think I've ever seen was Orange Julius.
I didn’t know orange Julius and several other restaurants. Is there Taco Bella outside the USA? There is only one McDonald’s, one Burger King, one Pizza Hut in mi city of more than half a million people, but with several Starbucks and subways
I find it fascinating that Orange Julius was the biggest franchise for like 20 years straight. I remember when McDonald's used to be in all of the Walmart stores and then in the late 2000s or early 2010s they switched them into Subways which kinda symbolizes the transition of power there.

The reason for so many Subway restaurants: expansion into smaller towns often bypassed by other fast food chains.
You can also very easily build them into a gas station.
It should be noted too that an average Subway serves far fewer customers than an average McDonald’s, so even though Subway has more total locations, their sales are probably much lower.
And they’ve become very over saturated with stores cannibalizing sales from one another. It’s started to decline pretty significantly.
I agree. Also, don't forget the massive Walmart expansion.

Asia their huge their main reason why their is more android users
Yes it is amount of restaurants
@@cyrusk9617 ? Android and food restaurants are two different things! 😂
Yes, Subway surpassed McDonald's in restaurants because they don't need to cook everything making their restaurant size smaller and able to fit in more places like plazas and inside Walmarts
mark rine most subways have like 1 person and McDonalds has like five at all times I think
I’ve never heard of Orange Julius. Was surprised to see it hold on so long before dropping off. I’m not surprised about Subway and it’s very quick rise. I love Subway and eat there often.
Subway , I just say , has gotten better these days
Mah favorite restaurant is probably my 'mom's kitchen'
I also like to eat in your moms kitchen, after I’m done I usually get something to eat.
Anybody else think that McDonald's food is like so fake

Would’ve been really cool to see the logos change over time as well
I recall when you could have a raw egg added to your Orange Julius. (This was 70s/80s) It made it taste kind of richer the way Egg Nog would be parallel to that. Of course they stopped that at some point due to health codes/food safety. Everyone always went there when going to the mall. It was almost a given.
This video would be that 'Super Size Me' guy's worst nightmare.

There is a subway at every truck stop, nearly every Walmart, almost every gas station, every small town. But I never knew it was bigger than McDonald's.
To be honest I just went to Subway and their sandwiches are so delicious
Agreed

Fun fact: KFC actually didn't start in Kentucky, it started in Utah. Col. Sanders was from Kentucky and had a restaurant there, but the KFC name didn't exist yet. After meeting Pete Harman at a restaurant convention, he introduced Harman to his fried chicken recipe. Harman began selling it in his own restaurant, referring it to as "Kentucky Fried Chicken," which he said was "Finger lickin' good." It was so popular, Sanders began licensing the name and recipe all across the country.
And boy did he.
He dressed like a plantation slave owner.
Not long afterwards they started charging $10 for two pieces of anorexic chicken and I've never been back since....
Fun fact: KFC sued Sanders because he trashed their food in interviews because they changed some of the recipes. He also traveled around to locations, walked in, walked behind the counter and started making the chicken himself to teach employees proper way to make it, even though he was just a spokesman and face of the business
My first job was at KFC and we had a plastic statue of Col. Sanders in our lobby. It didn't last very long.
LOL I'm taking a break from studying for my Data Visualization midterm and algo suggests this.
What do these numbers represent, and how are you calculating size?
KFC: "Now I'm gonna leave you guys...or maybe not"
90 percent of the KFC's around where I live closed or turned into Popeyes, and Popeyes is 100 percent better. KFC went to shit
@@gnarkiller KFC is for some reason more popular outside of America
Wow, look at Subway go!! I thought I knew a lot about American culture but confess I have never heard of Orange Julius until now. Never seen it mentioned in books, TV or Film (at least not that I can remember) and even though I've visited the US a dozen or so times I've never seen one in person. To think how much of a market leader it was and for so long is astounding.
I'm in my late 40s and grew up in California. I would often get an Orange Julius smoothie at the mall in the 80s and 90s. They were in every mall.
I thought it started with the year they were invented i was like dam orange julius been around since 1500? Is that named after Caesar?

Subway? There is rarely any line ups when i go there
Asian markets. There huge in many Asian markets.
Not sure what exactly they're measuring, but Subway has a very low startup cost compared to other franchises. They also do. not regulate their stores like McDs does.
Karen Sieradski this is probably based on the amount of locations
Its in locations and honestly i really like subway
Thats because its in store counts and also subway has had a big decline over the past few years causing them to shut down thousands of locations
What is meant by "biggest"? Does it mean largest quantity of operations or units? And if so, in N.A. or the world? or does it mean the highest in sales dollars?
A&W is number 1 in my heart
First 2 seconds and I learned something new. These things existed in 1950????
I don't think McDonald's was until 55 and Burger King till around 62.
@@corvetcoyote443 also want to add that McDonald’s only had one location in 1950 in San Bernardino and the chart claims that McDonald’s has 358. No way did McDonald’s have 358 locations in 1950. Am I missing something here?
Can we just appreciate the fact that this guy uploads amazing content!
I worked for Starbuck in 1988 we were ONLY the 33rd Starbucks in the world when we opened in 1988 in Bellevue, WA . In fact, I don't believe Starbuck expanded outside of Washington state until 1991. If the Starbuck numbers are WAY out of line I now question ALL other numbers.
It's not that amazing. At the end of each year he puts in the restaurant chains with the highest numbers. Then has a computer count up to that number and the bar graphic slides accordingly. He doesn't go month to month like he should
Orange Julius? Damn, that's urban legend.
Question, does something like Burger King include their Australian arm called Hungry Jacks?? When BK first entered Australia in the 1960's, there was already a burger joint in Sydney with the registered business name Burger King. The owner refused to sell the rights to the name, so down under got the name Hungry Jacks.
I like how A&W was like, hey I made it on the board. Funny thing, they tried to beat the Quater Pounder by selling I believe a 1/3lb for the same price. But people didn't know math and thought it was less.

What happened to KFC from 1991 to 2009 can anybody explain?
My only experiences there are super dry fried chicken and biscuits. Also, my parents have commented on them having poor hires. Id honestly prefer Popeyes.
Most of KFC restaurants are franchised and KFC take a cut off the profits from those Franchises. Since KFC was a had a lot of competition with other fast food restaurants so many choose different restaurants during that time. Resulting less people to profit form so many locations failed. Not until 2008 Economic crash, where many of KFC competition started to fail so KFC was able to gain back from it's downfall. IDK, that's the right reason but been watching a lot of Company Man videos so that's the best I can do.
ummm no😂
They started losing money and had to sell some of their eateries
Well their food is good but it's still fast food, however chic fil a is the best even tho they're not necessarily fried chicken
I've never seen an Orange Julius outlet that wasn't in a mall. I'm not sure if there are any now.
I was waiting for Subway to suddenly appear. I KNEW it was gonna go something like that!
KFC blew up in 09 when they opened up everywhere in Asia.
It is visited by USAmericans when the visit Asia.
Now its incredibly popular in Japan a Christmas thing that started there was buying KFC except you need to pre order your KFC for Christmas generally a month in advance
Subway showed up in the 80s and just didn’t stop.
Growing up in the 70's I remember that Taco Bells, at least where I lived had a fire going outside their restaurants.
It was a raised brick structure that was filled with lava rocks, the fire was from natural gas burners.
I'm not sure why they got rid of them but if I had to guess someone complained about them wasting natural gas.
I would guess that most people have never even heard of Orange Julius and I can verify that during the 70's KFC was very popular.
I remember in the 90s seeing some older Taco Bells with those structures - never knew they used to have fires in them, that's awesome

I find it fascinating that Orange Julius was the biggest franchise for like 20 years straight. I remember when McDonald's used to be in all of the Walmart stores and then in the late 2000s or early 2010s they switched them into Subways which kinda symbolizes the transition of power there.
Great point!
It also shows that people would rather eat pork and cake (Subway bread is sugar cake) instead of 100% beef with regular bread.
Never heard of Hunt's Pizza and there are 2 of them 25 miles from me in a couple small towns (inside convenience stores).
