I read an article, think it was last year, claiming there were more subways than starbucks and mcdonalds combined in the continental US. To be fair the people I've talked to said it's really cheap to start a subway franchise compared to the other fastfood peddlers of beetus.

That resource I posted says there's: 14,267 McDonalds (http://chartsbin.com/view/30904) and 11,962 Starbucks (http://chartsbin.com/view/30908) so a total of 26,229. But, yeah, subway at 23,750 is still a staggering number. Most I speak to seem to talk disparagingly about them, yet still go there regularly. I'd also heard its a cheap franchise but also a fairly straightforward one (in terms of the product line up).
