In the fiercely competitive world of Big Food, a handful of restaurants stand out not just for their popularity, but for their impressive earnings.
Diners may be voicing their concerns over rising prices, but they continue to satisfy their cravings at some of America’s top fast food chains, as revealed in QSR Magazine’s annual ranking earlier this year.
Gathering sales data from various chains between March and May of this year, the publication found that McDonald’s (MCD), Starbucks (SBUX), and Chick-fil-A reign supreme in the quick service arena. However, the quest for value differs among individual locations, with some reporting annual sales exceeding $7 million.
Per QSR, these are the top 15 fast food chains that generate the most annual revenue per location, including average sales figures, and the total number of locations.
