Serving billions of hamburgers has put a shine on these arches. McDonald's is the world's #1 fast-food company by sales, with about 32,000 restaurants serving burgers and fries in about 120 countries. (There are nearly 14,000 Golden Arches locations in the US.) The popular chain is well-known for its Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, and Chicken McNuggets. Most of its outlets are free-standing units, but McDonald's also has many units located in airports and retail areas. Each eatery gets its food and packaging from approved suppliers to ensure that a Big Mac purchased in Pittsburgh tastes the same as one bought in Beijing. Nearly 80% of the restaurants are run by franchisees or affiliates.
