McDonald's plans to reach 50,000 restaurants worldwide by the end of 2027.
Subway closed a net 8,345 US restaurants from 2016 to 2025, declining ten straight years.
KEY POINTS
- Subway's rapid pre-2015 expansion led to internal cannibalization and reduced franchise profitability.
- Competition from fast-casual chains like Chipotle and Jersey Mike's eroded Subway's sales and market relevance.
- McDonald's plans to reach 50,000 global restaurants by 2027, potentially overtaking Subway in total locations.
