Starbucks Now No. 3 U.S. Chain Restaurant
Burger joints lose grasp on top-sellers podium.
Starbucks is now the no. 3 largest-selling chain restaurant in the United States, trailing only perennial no. 1 McDonald’s and relative podium newcomer Subway, according to the latest rankings of the top 500 selling chain restaurants in the nation.
The seemingly omnipresent coffee chain managed to leapfrog Burger King and Wendy’s in 2010 sales.
