You might think with the number of golden arches you see that McDonald’s is the fast food chain with the most franchises around the world.
But it turns out that distinction belongs to another chain: Subway. According to CNBC, the sandwich franchise operated 43,912 stores around the globe in 2017. McDonald’s wasn’t far behind, however, with 37,241 franchises. In third place? Relative newcomer Starbucks, with 27,339.
