Which Fast Food Chain Has the Most Locations in Indiana?

If you had to guess the answer to that question, what you you say? I think the most common answer would be McDonald's, but is that the correct answer? Well, Stacker compiled a list of the most common fast food chains in Indiana using data from the Friendly City Lab at Georgia Tech. Naturally, I know that my favorite fast food chain won't be in the running, as Grandy's only has one location left in Indiana. Side note: if you have never had Grandy's you are missing out!

According to Stacker, these are the ten fast food restaurants with the most locations in Indiana:

It should be noted that this data is from 2021, so the numbers have likely changed some. After further investigation, Subway is still the fast food restaurant with the most locations in Indiana in 2023. According to Subway's website, there are 564 locations in the Hoosier State, more than any other fast food restaurant in Indiana. Were you surprised by this list or did you think Subway was the fast food restaurant with the most locations in the state?
