Do franchise eat cities?

Who knew there are now almost as many Dunkin' Donuts in NYC as there are stations in the whole system (466 stores, 468 stations)?


Other fun facts:
  • Despite announcing store closings, Starbucks actually added 11 stores in the past year.
  • After adding 10 stores last year McDonald's went and dropped 17 this year. There are now just 241 of the fast food restaurants across town.
  • Though it can be hard to turn around in Manhattan without hitting a Duane Reade, where there are 161 of them, it is much harder to find them in Staten Island, they've only got eight.
  • T-Mobile, with 117 stores, has gone and joined the ranks of companies with more than a hundred stores in the city. Twelve other companies share that honor including Sleepy's, Radio Shack, Baskin-Robbins and GNC.
  • The report only lists retailers, unfortunately leaving out that omnipresent urban blight: banks.
