Was not expecting Subway to sweep there
fr the east side was almost all green
@@ori77777 same they’re literally not even good at all they are one of the lowest quality fast food chains and that’s saying something
@@jrax1713 idk some are really good
@@ori77777 there is so much subways everywhere because they have low franchise cost, so making your own subway is dirt cheap compared to lets, say, mcdonalds
there is alot of subways in every country theyre in, in the place where i live it is the closest american fast food chain to my house
Just because you don't eat there doesn't mean it's not successful
The fact that New England basically carried Dunkin to #4 is actually quite impressive.
Yeah wasnt expecting it
For real. I moved to RI recently. I live within one mile of 5... that I am aware of. I haven't been around long enough to know I spotted them all.
I visited Boston and they'll literally have multiple DDs in the same intersection.
Lines at all of em too. Crazy.
Dunks started here. MA
Y'all can have Starbucks.
In Montana there was a space on the Interstate where the nearest McDonald's were 140 Miles apart. McDonald's was having none of that. So in-between Billings and Bozeman, Montana there was a small town called Columbus. Nothing more than a wide spot in the freeway. But McDonald's decided to put a restaurant there and all hell broke loose. A big truck rest stop opened, a motel opened, a grocery store opened. All because McDonald's didn't want there to be a 140 mile wasteland along the freeway with no McDonald's.
Heh... that'll be an interesting fact in that town's history.
They have more gaps to fill in, especially in Alaska.
Wow! A McDonald's created all that?!
Good. They created hundreds of jobs.
And now there is a subway there too lol
Subway is everywhere, I was born in the interior of an isolated rural town located in the middle of nowhere, and the only fast food there was......subway
It’s because they really hopped on board the mid 2000’s franchising scheme. Ended up costing them big time.
@@charlesbrown4483 Sadly it was just a passing fad and Subway was passed off as a "healthy" alternative to fast food wit the spokesperson being a pedo.
Because it is one of the cheapest franchises to buy
They easily fit inside gas stations.
Same! I grew up in a small rural town. No McDonalds, no Starbucks, but a Subway.
This is a great way to see which areas are densely populated and which areas nobody lives.
unless your dominos 😂
1:49 There are north Carolina and Ohio
They have a lot
Yes; it’s all going on in the eastern 1/3 of the country (or at least east of the Mississippi), and then in a thin strip along the West Coast, but that’s about it.
@@JafantantEnglish much?
The Domino! Domino pepeloni!
Subway: east coast how many stores do you want?
East coast: *YES*
Bojangles:The Carolinas, how many stores do you want
The carolinas:YES
east coast? you mean the entire eastern half of the us?
The main thing about Subway is that while it may not be the most popular fast-food chain, it has a way lower entry fee than other franchises. You barely need any specialized equipment, so you can start a subway franchise for less than $200,000, a comparable McDonald's is going to cost well over a million.
Yup. All you need for subway is really the oven, microwaves and the ingredients.
I almost got a franchise for $63,000 about 20 years ago.
That's why Indians own the vast majority of them and 7/11. Pretty cheap to get started and maintain.
Often you only need one worker at a Subway during non peak hours. Likely the owner. Really cuts down operating costs.
I looked into bojangles a while back; they want something like $300k plus $700k in liquid assests fuckin ridiculous I just wanna bring good fried chicken to my fellow westerners 😂
That would explain why there's so many of them.
As far as subs/hero sandwiches go, Subway is low-grade. There's so many places that do it better.
Subway: “Look around you, McDonald’s!”
McDonald’s: “You planted grass?”
Subway: “Grass?” (Laughs as he goes up top of locations)
A Subway franchise must be ridiculously easy to get - unlike a McDs franchise.
Subway started in my home state of Connecticut in 1966
Good reference
McDoanalds may be the most profitable fast food franchise but there's a lot of subway locations.
@@matthewporrini50Do you still live in CT? How do you afford the high taxes?
To be totally accurate, you should combine Carl's Junior and Hardee's. They are now the same company. When Hardee's was bought out they changed the menu to be the same as Carl's Jr, and added the yellow star that is a mark of Carl's to the signs. This is like the west coast-east coast split with Best Foods and Hellman's mayonnaise, and Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream.
Agreed. Hardees/Carl's Jr should be 16th, above Jimmy John's.
This is over 3 years old
@jakeg3126 yep it's inaccurate now. Maybe by thousands. Up and down.
So Best Foods and Hellmams are the same. Aaarrrgghhh! Now it makes sense
@@jakeg3126They merged in 1997
Legend says you can be stranded in the middle of the desert, there will be a Subway near by.
Yeah bro why was there one at the top of alaska💀
The fact that Dunkin Donuts was #4 based almost solely on their profligacy in New England should have surprised absolutely nobody in New England, I hope. Driving out of Logan Airport I counted about 9 of them before I had gone 5 miles, no joke.
Same for Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. There's ten Dunkin Donuts between Cline Avenue and Illinois north of US 30 (and a couple on US 30 as well).
I have driven down a road that had 3 Dunkin Donuts on it short distance from each other, and every single one was packed.
Not surprised about Subway. I live in a small city of about 50k people in Canada and there is 5.
LOL on stretch if I keep going straight I pass by like 4 of them
Reminds me of the time I counted 23 fried chicken restaurants in a mile. I was next to Emory university in Atlanta. Lol
The Subway location in Utqiagvik, Alaska literally looks like a nuclear fallout shelter, and it will never not be funny to me.
I laughed tbh
and now it's "Top Of The World Ace Hardware".
I bet the sandwiches are like 40 dollars each up there
@@MrPlatinum2323it's actually not too bad, around 15 bucks a footlong. As in, yeah that's crazy expensive but not unimaginable
That’s the most insane town name I’ve ever heard
I woulda watched the whole thing even if it was a low resolution slideshow of maps with no animation or music. But it had the other stuff. I legitimately cannot express how much I liked this video.
I had anxiety when it got to the Top 3 LOL
I heard a banging sound coming from the trunk of my car, and when I looked in there, some body was opening another Starbucks!
You sure it wasn't a Dollar General? 😂
I love that I live in New England yet get Carl's Jr and Hardee's ads constantly.
Today i learned, there are 10 Subways within 15 miles of me
😂😂 Same here
I was curious too so I looked on Google maps... There were 112 Subways within 10 miles
want another fact?
Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's locations in the United States.
@@babymetalenjoyer that's genuinely shocking, sometimes I forget just how much of the US is empty
@@Scrublord30 yeah. Especially the western half of the US compared to the eastern half as you can see here in the video

@@sriramnallan cus they watched the video?
@@yoxilpogo stick
Thanks?
I remember when there was only one Subway. It was in Connecticut, they made their own bread. Then a second Subway opened in Danbury Ct on White Street near me, and the guy announced he was starting a chain that would be the biggest chain. This was around 1976. The Danbury location on White St is gone now.
I like how it's easy to find which point is your town if you have a general knowledge of where it is and what restaurants are in it
Really easy if you live in north west area too🤪
I cannot believe how much fast food chains i thought were literally everywhere are most common on the east coast
That's because the west has large areas of land with hardly any people in them.
East coast has higher population density, which is the reason.
@@HighpointerGeocacher ah ok
Subway is the cheapest to own a franchise and has the least amount of requirements to own a franchise so that’s why there’s so many
Carl's Jr and Hardee's are the same thing, just different region (Like Kroger with all their regional names). Would be interesting to see where they fall if combined.
Same thing with Krystals and White Castle
2885 for Hardee's and Carl's combined. Puts them at number 16 just behind papa johns.
Being in Knoxville is so funny because I see the singular Culver's in Tennessee and KNOW that its the one I drive past all the time. Makes me feel special.
As a European this is interesting, because we've never heard of some of those in the top ten.
I would've expected something like
1. Mc Donald's
2. Bürger King
3. Subway
4. KFC
As these are also prevalent over here.
Yeah y’all got quick and what not
The one that surprised me the most was Chick-fil-A not being higher than it was. Most people seem to love Chick-fil-A but they're a harder franchise to open up.
@@hemigoleoquick is basically the only European chain that’s widespread. All the other ones are American or horrible. At least in France
Two things I find interesting as a European. One is the chains that made it over here versus the ones that didn’t. The other are the chains that don’t have a presence in my country but I’ve still heard a lot about through pop culture references, product placements, or the like, versus those I’ve never even heard of, e.g. hear about Chick-fil-A at 18 and Chipotle at 17, but never heard of Jimmy John’s at 16, and heard of Arby’s at 14, but not Sonic Drive-in at 13.
@@martel8626Sonic came out in the early '90s ish. It was a throwback to 50s/60s drive up diners. I think they were trying to get the nostalgia factor from the older folks but young people thought it was cool too. It was the only place like it. And back then they had cute thin girls riding roller skates out to bring you your food. You'd tip them. Nowadays it's staffed by randoms. No more roller skates. No more charm. Their shakes and specialty drinks like the cherry limeade are really good. Im sure enough workers sued after roller skate falls so they said no more nice things.
Who would have thought Burger King is only 6th
I’m surprised it’s that high. Must be more popular in low income areas I’m guessing. McDonalds and Wendy’s are better options.
BK definitely beats Wendy’s
@@KlaytonRuggles-eq6rc Since when? Or where? My brain cannot comprehend that.
Really? I've seen a couple shut down in the last 5 years.
What’s amazing is
Seeing the map and seeing that from Idaho down to Nevada and going east to Minnesota there is so much vast land with nothing!
That's because it's full of mountains, deserts, and the farms your food is grown on.
This is such a visually appealing video!
Interesting. Well done!
Love the music. It provides great vibes to this video
I think it’s by Slipknot?
@@iain8837okay got ya
DO NOT let the object show community see how many jimmy john’s locations on here.
Why?
???
hi i'm osc guy
I would not have realized that if I never saw this comment 😂
Jimmy johns has 2763 stores.
2763
I didn't know that there are more fast food restaurants in the East than West.Good luck trying to find restaurants in Montana,Oklahoma,Nevada,Utah and more
Well, more people live in the eastern part, so that’s pure logic.
You must have never been to Las Vegas. We have many fast food restaurants.
80% of Americans live on the east side of the "line" which runs through the center of the country. This is because of desert and mountains on the other side. So 20% of Americans live west of the line.
But if you take away the Pacific coast with California etc, only 10% of Americans live in desert/rockies. And if you were to take away just the 8 largest cities in that area we have left, it'd only be 5% of Americans living in the desert/rockies that don't live in a major city.
So yeah, the restaurants not wanting to be there as much makes sense when you realize they can get 2x the customers on the Pacific coast or 8x as many customers on the other side of the line lol
Those states probably have dinner with someone cooking real food and where you have great service
I live in montana and there is enough restaraunts
I needed this
1:24 I definitely wanted to see how many Sonics were in Arkansas. My first time there, about four or five years ago, I passed through the rural northern part of the state and every little town had one. Towns that small in my area often have no restaurants at all; lucky if they got a gas station. These towns were way off the Interstates, too, so it would seem these Sonics couldn’t really count on a lot of people coming through to boost sales. It looks like Tennessee is the best-covered state. I figured they must have been founded and headquartered somewhere around Arkansas; they’re based in Oklahoma actually, so I wasn’t too far off.
Shit, I knew Bojangles had a firm hold on the Carolinas and Atlanta, but I didn’t think they’d make a top 30 list.
And they're headed west to boot.
Every bojangles employee is going to the deepest darkest pits of hell. I love their food but I don’t love waiting 30 minutes for fries. Ik it’s minimum wage but like cmon
Mr Bojangles got his bojo working.
Very cool video
It was so cool seeing all my towns fast foo places pop up. Very accurate
Didn’t expect to see Starbucks and Subway take the top 2 spots, I though McDonald’s had this one.
They're not including the overseas McDonald's have locations in Japan and China and all that but I guess they just included US
@@mergingbutterfly
There's not one single McDonald's in Hawaii???
@@mergingbutterflyIt's so hard to read your comment because you haven't used any punctuation.

Lmao which one bro
Which one
@@readysetreact1345 That one. Right there. Next to the McDonalds, the Starbucks, and approximately 28 Subways.
@@GolfhausYT Ohhhh thanks
Great vid
I had anxiety when it got to the Top 3 LOL. I love this video.

Culver’s with room to grow! On Wisconsin!

Culver's slaps
Would be very interesting to see where the top 10 in that list with corporate locations and franchise locations separately.
Never would've guessed
Interesting tidbit of trivia
That singular Bojangles in Pennsylvania got me like
That’s our North Carolinan embassy in Pennsylvania
There's a Bojangles in Pa? Well crap, now I find it
I'd never heard of at least half of these!
👏👏 *MAKES SENSE BUT STILL. BIG DIFF BETWEEN NUMBER OF SPOTS FOR #1 AND 2. IMPRESSIVE*
im real glad that i got a local Bojangles to eat at, i LOVE that place
I can personally verify we have MANY MORE Zaxby's in Oklahoma than that picture suggested. That was wildly inaccurate.
The McDonalds map didn’t show any locations in Alaska or Hawaii, which is completely incorrect.
This was posted 3yrs ago. So more have come in
@@ivanbermudez691 most of these franchises have closed more than they've opened in the past 3 years but either way that's irrelevant because the maps are inaccurate
California Texas Florida and New York got invaded by subway press f to pay respects
Bojangles will have a few popping up in California, Nevada, and hopefully Arizona soon. Also, I didn't realize Zaxby's was in Utah. Also, if you counted Carl's Jr. and Hardee's together (basically the same restaurant) they'd be in 15th place.
It was interesting seeing all the different fast food chains considering we only have a handful in the UK
BFDI reference at 1:08
no it’s literally how many JJ’s are in the USA
2763
I thought mcdonalds was going to be first
@Bro Momento oh damn that actually makes sense.
Subway is crazy. Also growing up there were at least 5 McDonald’s in my hometown and it was just a 2 mile stretch of suburban highway
THAT BIOHAZARD'S SONG "FIVE BLOCKS TO THE SUBWAY" HAVE A NEW MEANING NOW ON
Hot take: I don’t think coffee places should be classified as fast food. Don’t they just have coffee and like pastries?
Agreed! Unless they started serving meat on their pastries as their predominant revenue and I just missed it.
They sell sandwiches
Someone on TikTok is stealing your videos
TikTok the virus app from the virus china
Thanks for doing Culver’s! Not a lot of people know about it.
Culver's goes so hard.
probably the best fast food burgers at that price point
I believe it. In my town, up until last year we had 5 subways within a 2 mile radius. They closed 2 of them. We still have 7 subways in a 5 mile radius
saying that Starbucks is a fast food chain is "kinda" stretching it.
Well... it's food and it's fast sooooo
There’s more to fast food than deep fried food and burger
I like how there’s just a single Bojangles in Memphis, I drive by it quite often
There's four Subways within a two mile radius of my house, and I live in a mid-sized city in Utah. Subway is absolutely everywhere, even though their quality has been rapidly declining for years. Back in the day (like 10-15 years ago), you could get a footlong sandwhich with chips and a drink for like $8, and that'll run you like $15 down, not to mention they're way more skimpy on the toppings than they used to be.
Bojangles hit different🗣📢🔥🔥‼️
Sheesh! Somebody likes their Dunkins!
Subway can afford all of those stores by giving you 2 slices of lunch meat and a head of lettuce on 12” of bread lol
Had to feature Culver’s! Best fast food out there!
Near my house in Arkansas, there used to be a subway inside Walmart, a full size subway in the larger shopping center outside of Walmart and then a Subway next to the interstate exit. All 3 were within 500 yards of each other.
walmart used to have mcdonald's in it 😂
They just opened a Subway in my laundry room
It's crazy how some are just regional and not universally known throughout the country
This is a great list of The 30 Biggest US Fast Food Chains across the country and map comparison. Good to know the exact locations of these 30 US Fast Food chains across the US if you’re hungry. I love it. Great job. Nicely Done! 💯😊👍❤️
They are DQ, McDonald’s, Culver’s, Five Guys, Pizza Hut, Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, Arby’s, Subway, Taco Bell, KFC, Popeyes, Little Caesars, Papa Johns, Domino’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Hardee’s also Sonic Drive in.
Whole bunch of Panera, five guys, Popeyes, panda express, chick Fila, Chipotle, Papa John's, and especially SUBWAYS my east coast has hehehe
Esses trem de fast food chains é chique, eu gosto.
From Ranking 15 onwards, the only ones I don't know (because they are not in my country) are Arby's, Sonic Drive-in and Dairy Queen. What specifically will they sell?
Its funny to see my tiny town on the map popping up
Fun fact: there are more Marijuana Dispensaries in Colorado than Starbucks and McDonald's restaurants combined.
A few months ago I learned how few Jack in the Boxes there were east of the Mississippi. I grew up in STL and moved to Texas and always was near a JITB. I thought they were everywhere.
Really was expecting McDonald’s to be number 1 & definitely didn’t expect subway to be there
How about a video showing the best and worst customer service fast food chains? I am sure that would be interesting to many. 😉
As a New Englander, the Dunkin map is exactly what I expected it to be lol 😂
I've been seeing some nice ads rom Freddy's. Sure wish they had those here.
Its always crazy to me how many chains come so close to new england, and they'll open up so few locations compared to the southern half of the BosWash. Panda, JJ, Wingstop, it feels like you have to go out of your way for, Hardies/Carls serves just about everywhere else in the US except NE. I'm unfamiliar with other areas of the country, the midwest and rockies seem deprived of most chains, but i wonder why southern New England gets the short end
I should try one of these places.
For context: This video may have Walmart subway locations included. Which there is 4,717 Walmart locations
Growing up in Fairbanks,AK all I remember was Taco Bell and Wendys, so this seems accurate. I'm pretty sure the two local high schools kept those places in bussiness
I'm not a fan of Dominos, but I find it interesting there's a sit-down Dominos restaurant here in Albuquerque.
The number of Jimmy John’s locations got my OSC brain like *instant activation mode*
Subway was ridiculously nice there for a while with ppl thinking it was so much healthier than the burger joints, and it can be. But they marketed the heck out of it and dominated. They have fallen back some but still have locations galore.
For the price theyre charging now, no way I'd buy.
@@peeniz agree. The quality in evening is so low and the prices keep going up. I'm not doing it
I love how almost every single one on here is in or around the city I live in, lol.
Also Zaxby’s ftw
I remember going to New York and seeing it packed with Dunkins and Starbucks so I expected it to be at the top
Subway is an easy restaurant. Not tough to put one in. They can go in smaller spaces. I build Chipotle’s and they are building like crazy right now. Did 3 in the last 6 months and starting one next week
There's no Dunkin in 13 states but got to #4 is insane
The competition is fierce at the East
i’m from new york and i have a carl’s jr. half an hour away, been there since before this video too
Now visualize all of them AT THE SAME TIME. It's insane how many fast food places there are in the US. My god...
LETS GOOOO ZAXBYS
No Dunkin Donuts in the Pac NW, I fully expect that to change in the coming decade. I remember when Chick-fil-A was only in the South and i would go out of my way to get it in the ATL airport, now we have 3-4 in my city. Culvers is pretty awesome for a burger joint, I had it in Wisc and thought it was a regional thing but now they're starting to spread, got one in my city now. Carls Jr and Hardees are pretty much the same thing. What the hell is Zaxby's and Bojangles, are they any good, I never heard of them before, being as they're obviously a southern region thing?
In the uk a lot of these we have never heard of. Hopefully it will stay that way, as there’re too many as it is.
its crazy tho in a town over theres a subway next to a shopping center with a walmart and inside that walmart theres another subway
