America’s #1 Fast Food Brand Only Has 48 Missouri Locations?

Before I looked at the new #1 fast food brand in America, I guessed to myself which one it was and I was wrong about a half dozen times. Did you know this fast food joint that is apparently at the top of the American food chain now only appears to have 48 Missouri locations?

This brand new ranking of fast food delicacies comes courtesy of 24/7 Wall St. According to their article, the fast food math was done by The Wolf of Franchises on X (yeah, formerly Twitter).

So what is the #1 fast food brand in America now?

Think it's McDonalds? Nope. What about Burger King? Not that one either. The new #1 fast food brand according to their 8.2 million sales last year which brought in a staggering $18.2 billion dollars is Chick Fil A.

So how does Missouri come into the fast food picture? I checked out the Chick Fil A site and saw they only have 48 locations in the Show Me State. It's worth mentioning that I only got a respectable C- in math back in the day, so my fingers and toes count might be off by 1 or 2.

I would be very much in favor of Chick Fil A expanding beyond the St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia areas to something more northeast Missouri, but that's just me talking. Haven't had the chance to eat there often, but didn't regret it when I did.
