doesn't mean #1 in profits though...at least I don't think it does. I would think McDonalds has twice as many restaurants as any other FF chain...once again i could be wrong

I think Subway may be coming close to holding that distinction. Their franchise fees are pretty cheap, and they've been able to expand a lot.

It probably costs a couple of million to develop one McDonalds. You have to have something like $750,000 in liquid assets to contribute to a single franchise to even be considered (without borrowing). I imagine that McDonalds probably spanks Subway in single store sales though.

Subway has a lot more stores, but McDonalds blows Subway away in profit per store.

I thought that after posting. They just will never get the all day traffic that McDonalds will.

This was 2010, but McDonalds was way, way ahead. The average McDonalda makes 5 times as much as the average Subway. That's impressive. I still hate McDonalds food, but they're winning on that front.

McDonald's almost always have great locations on a huge chunk of land too. Those prime corner locations with room for a drive though and generous parking are a lot more expensive than the end cap in a strip mall that your typical Subway occupies.

I imagine most McDonalds franchise owners are millionaires who own 5-6 stores at least.

I have an uncle that owns 7 Subways. He bought one franchise and managed it himself, eventually hiring a good staff and buying a second, third, etc. it's something a middle class person can get into. That's not the case with McDonalds.

If you own any McD's stock, sell now. That tags line is gonna do some serious damage to sales.

Chik Fil A turns more profit than McDonalds per store I believe.

I think CFA stores pull in around 12-15% profit per gross revenue. Stores can do 2-6 million in revenue on average.

Also McDonald's food is pretty gross.

another thing McD's should focus on is taking lessons on hiring practice and employee training from places like Chic-Fil-A and Raisin Cane's. Same area...but MUCH better employees.
