Starbucks Has Passed Burger King and Wendy's

Jackie — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:27:48 +0000

The era of burger and French fry dominance is OVER. We're a soy latte and caramel macchiato country now, my friends.

For the past several decades, the top three in sales has always gone McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. But over the last ten years, the burger-and-fry culture started slipping . . . as sandwiches and coffee started making huge gains.
