According to the January 2009 issue of Entrepreneur magazine, 15 of the nation’s 50 top franchise companies are fast-food restaurants. How many of these 15 can you name in ten minutes? NOTE: What might surprise you most are the names NOT included on this list, companies whose restaurants are more commonly company-owned instead of franchised… like Burger King and Wendy’s (hint, hint). Good luck!

  1. 12/15, not bad. Off to get some greasy pizza for lunch.

  2. 13/15 Forgot about sandwich shops. Should have stuck it out for two more minutes could have hit 100%.

  3. 13/15, not too bad considering I never even heard of Cold Stone. Should have gotten Papa John’s though.

  4. Heather, I thought that the first one you mentioned would be the most difficult one… I’ve seen them, but don’t believe I’ve ever stopped at one to get an ice cream.

  5. 14/15….missed cold stone. definitely used up all 10 minutes though. i never thought about pizza shops as being “fast food”.

  6. Conversely, I didn’t think of Baskin-Robbins and Cold Stone as fast food. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything but ice cream there and unless there is a sandwich or something like that involved, I didn’t expect to see it listed as fast food. But, what the heck. Cannot believe I missed Sonic!

  7. 10/15 Missed some of the ones that aren’t up in Canada, and I’ve also never heard of “Cold Stone”

  8. I’m not sure that ice cream counts as “fast food”. I won’t call “shenanigans”, but take it was a warning.

  9. So after coming back from a fast food lunch to mull it over I got to thinking, so what WOULD the top 15 in Canada be?

    Well, Tim Horton’s for sure. Mr. Sub would likely join Subway and Quiznos in the sandwich department, Pizza Pizza would likely displace Papa John’s, and then you have some regional differences. For instance A&W seems to be very popular in Calgary but not so much back east.

    Any thoughts?

  10. 12/15
    Missed Arby’s, Hardee’s, and Sonic.

    I’ve been to Cold Stone a few times. They mix up your ice cream flavor and “mix-in” choices (fruit, candy, nuts, etc) on a “cold stone” to keep it from melting.

  11. 12/15 – forgot about the ice cream stores and Arby’s. Now I’m getting hungry again!

    And yes, Cold Stone is awesome.

  12. Can’t believe I got them all on the 1st try. Remembering the Ice Cream places was the tough part. Also, we don’t have Sonic or Hardees in the Seattle area. We srill see torturous Sonic commercials, but nary a restaurant.

  13. I could have had hours and my mind would have never gone to donuts or ice cream.

    I was surprised that Hardee’s was there and Carl’s was not since they’re basically the same company.
