Competing for "dominance" on a global scale is important for the chain restaurant industry, which is nearing saturation in the United States. High unemployment and economic uncertainty in the U.S. have hit the country's restaurant industry hard. As a result, restaurant chain giants are increasingly looking to overseas markets, especially in Asia, for growth.

Store size:

The SUBWAY sandwich chain has surprised everyone by surpassing fast-food giant McDonald's in the number of stores, and sitting at the top of the global restaurant chain.

"McDonald's has lost its fast-food king status." The Wall Street Journal commented.

Data shows that in 2010, SUBWAY had global revenues of $15.2 billion and was named the No. 1 franchise chain by Entrepreneur magazine for the 17th consecutive year. As of June 2011, the international fast-food giant, which mainly operates sandwiches, had nearly 35,000 stores in 98 countries around the world, 1,012 more than industry giant McDonald's, making it a well-deserved big brother in the international fast-food industry.
