Americans Spending 20 Billion Annually at Fast Food Chains
The Associated Press notes rising fast food sales across the United States. In 1978 domestic fast-food sales reached 21.2 billion, up 17 percent from the prior year, with McDonald’s Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken driving growth. The top 10 chains totaled 12.5 billion in 1978, up from 2.5 billion in 1969. Nationwide, one-fourth of total food-service sales come from fast-food chains, while consumers spend about 40 percent of food dollars on away-from-home meals.
