Coincidence that Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are right next to each other on this list? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyfc10qDcR4&feature=related

No surprse that MickeyDs is on top. Their value menu is the first thing people think of when they only have change in their pocket. And their breakfast deals and new coffee options appeal to a broad base. Every month brings a new $1 brkfst. sandwich, or cheap meal deal.
As for Dunkin Donuts, they are doing something right..but I think thats their coffee, NOT DONUTS. Their donuts are on par with eating sweet sand(IMO).
@halfdeserted: “Chick-fil-A, which sells chicken sandwiches and salads, saw U.S. sales jump 12.2 percent in 2008, to $2.96 billion, and a 4.6 percent increase in same-store sales, the company said. That’s one of the biggest sales gains in the restaurant industry. ” They are there, but maybe they do not have as many locations as other chains.

Tim, I was wondering that myself. Why did people have to check the link to know the criteria? I said right in the post it was based on total $$$ sales.

Well, it wasn’t really that fucking hard, was it? The original post already said that the rankings were based on raw sales and number of outlets.

Bear, I kinda like your pizza, but you and the other guy are dumb as dirt.

What does this tell me?

Two things:

Subway’s rev-per-store is WAY low. Look for a mass deletion of some of their stores (if they are smart). They are way over-built.

QSR Editor Blair Chancey and his publication offered up that quote in exchange for lots of Subway ads in that publicaton.

Can you people please stop being so naive?

Sheesh, Bear. I thought you were a marketing pro.

Can’t believe Sonic is actually up there, considering their food is filth. However you can get some sweeeet drink combos and tater tots. Your move, McDonalds.

So I looked at the actual sales volume. Damn MCD’s over 30,025 mil while the # 2 QSR subway only has 9,600 mil ridiculous

Sonic was pretty popular when I lived in TN. I am not all that shocked. Where is:
Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr
Rally’s/Checkers
Probably has something to do with the naming.

Dunkin’ Doughnuts at 8 is higher than expected. You have to sell a ton of doughnuts to made that much…. dough.

Where’s Chick-Fil-A?!

@Bear

I was wondering the same thing. What criteria do they use. But after clicking the link, the original article explains that the criteria used is total sales dollars. For instance McDonalds had $30 billion in sales, Subway $9.6 billion, etc..

I never would have guessed Sonic had enough locations to generate that much money in sales.
