Answer: McDonald's!
- Starbucks has 16,635 stores in 49 countries, including 11,068 in the US, nearly 1,000 in Canada, and more than 800 in Japan!
- McDonald's has over 31,000 restaurants in 119 countries!
The More You Know: McDonald's began in 1940 when brothers Dick and Maurice "Mac" McDonald (originally from New Hampshire) opened a restaurant in San Bernardino, CA. The introduced the "Speedy Service System" in 1948, and then franchised the system in 1953. When they went to check on a new store in Arizona, they were shocked to see an exact replica of his San Bernardino store, right down to the name "McDonald's." The owner said, "Why change it? It's great as it is," and from then on the brothers started franchising the entire concept.
