Fast Food Makes Up 54% of Restaurant Sales in France
As NPR reports,
food consultancy firm Gira Conseil conducted its annual survey on
restaurant spending in France and found that 54% of total sales belong
to the likes of McDonald’s, Burger King and Subway. The new fan favorite
increased 14% in consumption in the past year, shattering any notion
that the French, known for world famous chefs and sophisticated palates,
look down on the cheap and easy alternative to traditional restaurant
dining.
McDonald’s racks up more than 1,200 locations in France, Subway has opened hundreds of stores in the past 10 years and Burger King, which shuttered its French locations 16 years ago, recently returned to the market.
