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?
Subway had a closer run with McDonalds then I expected
Same
Subway is good
Subway choked

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.

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
I once walked out of a Starbucks and found myself standing inside another Starbucks 😂
I've actually seen a video on UA-cam years ago that had a Starbucks across the street from Starbucks 😂😂
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.

Do an Europe country population video
That Was Amazing !!!!!!! 😃😃😃
Missed Burger Chef in the 60’s and 70’s. They had around 2000.
Starbucks is the "apple" of the coffee shop world. Just a fashion accessory/ status symbol because it costs so much.
Starbucks #1 in 2025 or 2026
i dont even care about the stats, the music was fire
This is how America is conquering the world...with snacks.
Pretty sure Mixue is Chinese.
Amazing how so many became obsessed with overpriced burnt coffee in recent years.
I like it thanks for making it
Pizza hut ooh suu!
Keyson stats seni türkiyeden izliyorum ve çok eğleniyorum türkiyeden selamlar inşhallah yakında 1M oluruz
Yeah he only has 33.7k subs at this time now
I wonder if there will ever be a new fast food chain with a completely different food from everything else
0:00 - Dairy Queen (1950)
2:47 - McDonald's (1976)
6:19 - Subway (2009)
7:38 - McDonald's (2021)
Dislike👎
Burger Chef had over 1000 locations in 1973.
I noticed they were conspicuously absent.
Same thing here as well.
The slow and painful death of A&W! 💔😢
Dairy Queen and A&W still two of the best tasting...
I will not stop this until you put the song names and artists in the disc or the end of videos
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
Jersey Mike’s #1 in 2030
TRUE
Next do this but with stores
KFC THAT HIGH IN THE START SHEESH MC DEZZ JUST THE BESTTTTTT 😊😊😊
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
Wow so good MacDonalds
Arbis instead of Arby's lol
Skip it to the chicken! 5:18 10001
At the end I was like no Starbucks beat McDonald's!
That's insane
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.”
6:08 don’t do it subway 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hmm I love *Arbis*
Good channel!

Must be a worldwide list
McDonald’s,Starbucks,subway
Greatest thing ive evr watched
I like McDonalds, in-n-out, burger king, dunkin' donuts, and starbucks
Bro, McDonald’s and Jack-in-the-Box were next to each other in 0:41
And now they are 😂5:29
Wow I Just Like
Burger King may have those 19,000 locations but the ones in Australia are called Hungry Jack’s.
Mc-D : Making America fatter since 1951
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
Bro forgot about Chick Fil A
Subway is loosing??? 7:25
Mc donalds was so close to winning then subway hit 45,000
Then Subway hired a militant lesbian spokeswoman. How'd that work out?
There’s still not enough stores to meet the demand for Starbucks 😳
Starbucks is the Apple of coffee, overpriced and overhyped.
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.
@@k1nghighlights. oh

I like MrBeast burger
Everybody be hating on BK😢

Anyone else get hungry after watching this? 🍔🍟🍕🌮
1950-1975 Dairy King!
Jollibee will be in the list soon
You forgot raising canes
Dang! I forgot Baskin-Robbins was at the start of the video!
Three In-n-Outs and zero McDonalds in 1951? Don't you hate these Johnny come latelies?
Startbucks should not be considered a fast food chain
I don't know how KFC or Burger King lasted as long as it has.
Will the real Fast Food Fans please stand up.
Yes my favorite restaurant wins
DQ was the first invented fast food in Michigan.
Where's the beast burger?
Bk
Top 3 I don’t even eat At anymore not since the great 90’s
Cheering= Subway! Subway! Subway! Subway!
Where is Quick ^^ ?
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
Where's jolibee?
i dont think subway haves more restaurants than mcdonalds.
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?
Where is jollibee

KFC and McDonald's are the best
I like McDonalds, but not KFC.
I think chick fla should be high on the list
Chicken Kitchen Is Missing
