Wendy's Dethroning The King

NNN Lease Market News


Wendy’s has dethroned Burger King as the country’s second-biggest hamburger chain.


Wendy’s edged out Burger King in U.S. sales volume for the first time last year since Wendy’s was founded in 1969, according to a report by the food industry research firm Technomic Inc. that is set to be released next month.
Wendy’s had sales of $8.5 billion in 2011, compared with $8.4 billion for Burger King. McDonald's remained far larger than both with $34.2 billion in sales.
The figures are based on Technomic’s estimates of systemwide sales at franchise and company-owned restaurants, rather than corporate revenue, which includes fees from franchise operators. 
Worldwide, Burger King still has far more restaurants than Wendy’s and remains the second-biggest hamburger chain behind McDonald's.
