re: What’s the most struggling fast food chain?

Wish we had Carljr/Hardees in Houston. Always better than Burger King.
Subway should be a struggle as they are too many and the food is terrible.

Subway is horribly overexpanded.
IIRC, they have some of the lowest franchise requirements to buy in as well as little to no exclusivity for an area.
At least people will eat Subway though. Burger King tends to be a ghost town in most places because you’ll have a birthday between driving up and getting your meal.

Got to be Checkers. Always wanted to try it and their fries but every location I’ve ever seen is run down and in a bad part of town.

Nah, Arby's used to be top tier with CFA until they were bought by Inspire Brands which owns shitty chains such as Dunkin', Buffalo Wild Wings, and Baskin Robbins.
All 4 of those brands have fallen off a cliff since being acquired by Inspire. Not quite as bad as Restaurant Brands International which owns Burger King, Tim Horton's and your beloved Popeye's, but those two giant corporations are fighting their way to the bottom as far as Restaurant holding companies go.

I've seen several Hardees that have closed.

Not sure if this has already been covered but subway is seeing record sales with their remodeled locations and menu.

Subway says its most extensive menu makeover in the company's nearly 60-year history is paying off. Sales at stores open at least a year rose 8.4% in the third quarter, the privately held company announced Wednesday. For the past 18 months, Subway said it had "record-setting sales" across its roughly 20,000 US locations, bolstered by a number of changes that include new sandwiches, soups and store remodels. Subway attributed its recent success to its new "Subway Series" menu, which was streamlined to help speed up service, and an increase in digital orders.

That surprises me. I know a guy who owned a couple subways and was beyond livid when they launched “breakfast” and required the store to operate those early hours. He folded up shop and sold them asap. His franchise fee was something stupid low…like $5k and he owned the shitty strip centers.
I’ve never even considered that shithole for breakfast.

Hardees has some traction in small Southern towns with fewer options. The one in Monterey, TN does fine, for example, bc only competition is Dairy Queen.
Arby's now has healthier sandwiches that are pretty good, so is pulling some of that business from travelers tired of burgers or chicken. The turkey pita is my go to on the road because it does not make me feel like crap when I have to drive another 5 hours.
Long John Silvers is the worst, but it has a following from people in the Midwest and East Coast who don't know any better.

2nd place, maybe Arby’s?
our local arby's just closed down after 47 years.
but my nomination is Long John Silvers. 2 of them shut down due to grease fires in this town in the last 6 years.

Used to live next to a guy that had 4 or 5 Subway franchises. He said overhead on them is crazy cheap, and Subway corporate was very hands off. He seemed to do really well financially, but then his fat wife stepped out on him and he moved.
A family in the neighborhood I grew up in got into a couple of Subway franchises. The wife ran the operations while husband continued working his day job. She made her mildly retarded son the GM of one of them. Then it got robbed. It turned out to be an inside job, and the son did time in county jail for it. They still own their franchises and the son still works in one of them. And he's still mildly retarded.
I have a second Subway story. Same town, but a Subway this family didn't own, was the local drug purchase location. Every skater, punk rocker, burnout, any teenager that wanted weed would frequent it, always packed, especially at night. Whatever you needed, day or night, you go order whatever cold cut combo and some secret password and money exchange and your sandwich came with weed, acid, coke, whatever the arrangement was for. Cops figured it out, did a sting operation, shut the whole place down and 5 or 6 people went to prison.

Where I grew up in the Midwest (in the late 90s and thru today) KFC is really the only game in town for fried chicken

Their crossaundwiches or however you spell it are decent breakfast fare. And the whopper is still the king of fast food burgers. If only their fries didn't suck.

Food’s good if you know what to order but they aren’t the bottom of the barrel in service, they dig through the bottom several thousand feet and keep going.

Yeah I'm not getting the Arby's hate on here. Their Market Fresh sandwiches are amongst the best of any chain.
THIS!
Although I have been in some locations that were sketch, overall the products are great. Love Arby’s.
