Top 100 Restaurant Chains in the U.S.A (Revenue)
Top 100 Restaurants Chains in the U.S.A. (Revenue).
Browse the list of the top grossing restaurant chains in America, in terms of Dollar revenue.
Which restaurant chain can legitimately call itself the largest in America?
The list below shows the top-grossing nationwide restaurants chains in the US.
There are a few caveats: A few hotel chains and convenience store have been included, as their large restaurant and food product revenue qualifies them for the list.
Also, it is important to distinguish between revenue and number of locations. Subway actually overtook McDonalds in 2011, if you count just the number of locations. Subway now has 27,058 outlets in the U.S. (44000 worldwide), which outstrips McDonalds’s paltry 14,339 U.S. restaurants (36.000 worldwide). McDonalds is still number 1, if you look solely at revenue numbers, however.
The list below shows the top 100 restaurant and food chains, ranked by revenue.
