QSR has been reporting on the largest companies in the quick-service segment for nearly 15 years. But the QSR 50 only tells a portion of our industrys story. Beyond our borders, there is a world of opportunity. Our readers recognize it, and this years Global 30 is QSRs first foray into calculating just how large those opportunities are.
The Global 30 is meant to be a guide to international expansion for domestic companies looking to grow, as well as a directory of the worlds strongest brands for potential international franchisees looking to tap into a perfected system. Like our domestic list, the Global 30 ranks quick-serve and fast-casual companies by systemwide sales. For the international list, however, the sales are only from non-U.S. units, and the companies are all U.S.-based.

Well that proves they have less overseas sales! What it means to him will probably remain a mystery.Chick-Fil-A does not have any stores outside of the USA.
And had the support of the people. That's what really chaps their hide.All we have here is a liberal upset that Chick-Fil-A and it's CEO did not bow to the politically correct gay marriage stuff like Mozilla did.
It's funny that we have a thread on this just because the OP misunderstood a claim. I didn't realize that Chic-fil-a sales were such a hot button issue with libs, even bigger than the actual Obamacare numbers. Funny how they can accept a big lie and question meaningless things.

Chick-Fil-A does not have any stores outside of the USA.
They are talking about here in the States not worldwide.
Last year Chick-fil-A only had about 1,775 U.S. stores to KFCs 4,491, and most are in the South. Yet in dollar terms the Colonel is coming up short even with that much larger footprint: Chick-fil-As 2013 sales passed $5 billion, while all of KFCs U.S. restaurants rang up about $4.22 billion, according to Technomic. And thats with zero dollars coming in to Chick-fil-A on Sundays, when every restaurant is closed.
What Chick-fil-A lacks in store count, it makes up for in traffic. Each restaurant made about $3.2 million in 2013, more than three times as much as the average KFC at $938,000. Average sales at KFC restaurants have remained largely unchanged over the past decade, while they have climbed steadily at Chick-fil-A. Same-store sales climbed by more than 3.6 percent at Chick-fil-A last year; KFCs fell by 2 percent.

Chick-Fil-A does not have any stores outside of the USA.
They are talking about here in the States not worldwide.
Last year Chick-fil-A only had about 1,775 U.S. stores to KFCs 4,491, and most are in the South. Yet in dollar terms the Colonel is coming up short even with that much larger footprint: Chick-fil-As 2013 sales passed $5 billion, while all of KFCs U.S. restaurants rang up about $4.22 billion, according to Technomic. And thats with zero dollars coming in to Chick-fil-A on Sundays, when every restaurant is closed.
What Chick-fil-A lacks in store count, it makes up for in traffic. Each restaurant made about $3.2 million in 2013, more than three times as much as the average KFC at $938,000. Average sales at KFC restaurants have remained largely unchanged over the past decade, while they have climbed steadily at Chick-fil-A. Same-store sales climbed by more than 3.6 percent at Chick-fil-A last year; KFCs fell by 2 percent.
