McDonald’s is America’s favorite fast-food restaurant, with people searching for the Illinois-based chain on the internet in more states than any other establishment.
That’s according to a study conducted by a commercial restaurant furniture manufacturer based on regional average monthly internet searches.
Restaurant Furniture used Google search data over a 12-month period to determine the average monthly searches.
