I wonder if we're starting to see the beginning of the end of fast food chains?

So many big ones are failing, if not already on the brink of collapse. Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dairy Queen, even the mighty McDonald's. Each have closed hundreds of restaurants in recent years and just seem to be on a downward spiral. Fast food will always be a thing, from independent restaurants to food trucks. But in the coming years, they may be all that's left of the fast food industry and all the chains will have disappeared. If so, will it really be that bad of a loss?

About the only two chains that are failing here are Arbys and Burger King. All the rest are doing OK. I won't say fine because money it tight and not everyone can afford to eat fast food.

@hippyjoe1955 I am surprised Burger King is still open. Last time I drove by all the employees was smoking and it was noon time.

@lilylovesgaming1986 Yeah there aren't many of them left. I haven't gone to one in almost 30 years. I don't like their hamburgers.

@hippyjoe1955 I don't think I ever ate there before

@hippyjoe1955 There is a Thai restaurant that I can have lunch specials at through the weekdays and it’s a lot of food and very healthy & flavorful. Less $ than paying for fast food too. I was craving curry when I had cancer 2 years ago and was losing so much weight. I finally gave in and got some and it helped my appetite and I stopped losing weight and started gaining some of it back.
