Based on the CNBC Youtube Video ‘Subway - Not Starbucks Or McDonald’s - Has The Most Locations’, this video and activity worksheet allows your students to:
- Investigate the franchise market and compare popular businesses within the market
- Analyse Subway as a franchise business model, with justified recomendations of what they would change if they owned the business
- Choose a franchise business model they would purchase if they had unlimited funds including full justification of their plans.
Despite the seeming ubiquitousness of McDonald’s golden arches and the Starbucks mermaid, the sandwich chain Subway actually has the most locations of any restaurant worldwide, about 43,000 in 2017. This number, however, belies the economic reality: while McDonald’s and Starbucks continue to grow their profits, Subway’s have been slipping since 2014. Industry analysts point to a few reasons for this, including a lack of innovation and fraught relationships with franchise owners.
