Who makes more? McDonald's, Subway, two of the biggest fast food chains in the world. But who actually makes more money might surprise you. There are 36,900 McDonald's in the world. That's a lot. But it might shock you if Subway has 44,229 stores. But subways are way smaller than McDonald's. So this is going to be tight. Subway sells over 7.6 million foot long sandwiches a day. That's like 90 million inches of sandwiches. And McDonald's sells more than 75 burgers every single second. That's a lot. And when you add it up, globally, McDonald's makes 25.5 billion and Subway makes 16.11 billion. So McDonald's wins.
