      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.

    • @robtyman4281
      @robtyman4281 3 роки тому +41

      ... 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.

      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.

      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.

    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!"

    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.

    The reason Subway is on the top is because you only need chilled buffet servers/display and a microwave and a couple of people to run a Subway.

      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.

    Orange Julius is the one that absolutely blows my mind here. To be number one into the 70s, to still be growing as of 2006, I can't even comprehend! It's a one-trick pony, smoothies... It was in malls only that I ever saw, I was never compelled to even try one. I'm sure they were great, but to think that into the 70s they were more popular than McDonald's?! Amazing.

      Orange Julius was SO good. Their sausage sandwiches were great too. By the time I frequented them (80s-90s) they were basically in every shopping mall, but nowhere else. When the malls died, so did they as independent storefronts.

Today there are a lot more fast food restaurants in my area, Donkin' Donots and Starbucks just in bigger cities here, and I just first visited them in my late 20s haha. For a long time Subway was my favorite, but I don't find the store here near me very hygienic (sticky floor, dirty tables) and so my favorite has been McDonald's for years. But Burger King and McDonald's are getting kind of boring. Kebab (here called Döner) is one of the most common street food in Germany.

    The early Starbucks numbers seem really suspect.
    First - like others here have said: I don't even remember ever hearing about them until the late 90's. Admittedly, that's pretty meaningless. I'm not too familiar with Orange Julius, either (although I do remember seeing them at the mall as a child in the 70s).
    Secondly, though - their Wikipedia-article says the following in their 'history' section:
    1.) "By 1986, the company operated six stores in Seattle and had only just begun to sell espresso coffee."
    2.) "By 1989, 46 Starbucks stores existed"
    3.) "In June 1992, at the time of its initial public offering, Starbucks had 140 outlets"
    But according to this vid, they already had 707 locations in 1972 - just a year after their founding in 1971.
    I have a hard time believing that. Am I misunderstanding what the numbers mean? (I thought it meant number of locations)
