  The US is comparable to all of Europe,. In addition to national chains there are ton of regional (small number of states) and local chains (generally within one state). Fried chicken is extremely popular.

  So probably hundreds of fried chicken fast food chains exist even if there are only a handful that are nationally known.

    That’s individual fast food restaurants, not fast food chains.

  Oh man I could not even estimate. How many locations until it is considered a chain? There is a bar on my block that has a two other locations, is that a chain?
