Starbucks now ranks as the second-largest restaurant chain globally, overtaking Subway. Last year, Starbucks edged past Subway, with Technomic’s data showing Starbucks at 38,587 outlets worldwide versus Subway’s 36,516.
Subway, previously leading in global locations, has seen a downturn. It shut down 6,000 U.S. stores from 2015 to 2021. Meanwhile, Starbucks expanded, opening nearly 3,000 new stores.
McDonald’s holds the top spot as the largest chain, boasting 41,822 outlets. A significant portion of these, about one-third, are in the U.S. Last year, McDonald’s sales hit approximately $120 billion.
Despite falling behind globally, Subway still dominates the U.S. market in terms of locations. It has 20,000 restaurants nationwide, outpacing Starbucks and McDonald’s, which have around 15,000 and 13,000 U.S. locations, respectively.
Starbucks has not only overtaken Subway in the number of global outlets but also in annual sales. It leads by several billion dollars, even though Subway has about 25% more U.S. locations.
