If you look at the size of Subway vs. McDonalds you should know why. Most Subway's don't even have tables for you to sit.

Well, it can be argued that the streamlined restaurants (in the back of gas stations, etc.) is better adapted to modern times. Less rent per store, less of a staff = more profits.

All I am saying is that it costs less to startup a Subway than a McDonald. Hence, the larger number of Subways vs. McDonalds restaurants. It doesn't necessary mean Subway has larger profit than McDonalds.

I'm gathering examples of companies that we all think of as #1 but aren't anymore for a book I'm working on. Examples:

Hertz isn?t #1 ? Enterprise is (locations and revenues)

McDonald?s isn?t the biggest fast food chain in the U.S. (by # of outlets) ? Subway is. (13,700 vs. 20,000+; might be by revenue, too)

Please let me know any you can think of -- thanks!

I don't really consider subway to be fast food... but okay.

I can't imagine enterprise being #1 as I tried out enterprise for the first time, never will use them again as they've got crappy cars and service.

Shens on the Subway >> Mcdonalds.

There's no way in hell any fast food place can beat McDonalds.

Subway only beat them in total number of franchises(locations). McD beats them in every other way.

It's only $60k to start a Subway, whereas a Mcd's costs $1.5 million, plus you need to buy 3 at a time..
