46. Five Guys
Back in 2003 when Five Guys started franchising, the Virginia-based company took on a rapid expansion that hasn’t stopped since then. Today, you can enjoy their burgers, fries, and a wide selection of shakes (including the signature bacon shake) at any of the chain’s 1,321 locations.
45. Firehouse Subs
As you probably guessed from the name, Firehouse Subs was created by the firemen and the policemen in the Sorensen family back in 1994. Ever since then, the sandwiches became popular and gained more and more recognition, resulting in the brand having over 1,000 locations today.
