Fast Food Chains: 3rd World Versus Developed Countries

I find it weird that fast food chains open in third world countries first and faster than Developed Countries.

This week's headline news in the Food industry featured 2 major announcements:

• Dunkin Donuts announced it will open in UK! ( Read more)

     While comparing to Middle East there is around 300+ chains of Dunkin Donuts! With              UAE, 74 stores and Riyadh city (KSA) up to 30 stores.

• Burger King just opened its first branch in Paris! ( Read More) 

      Whereas  in Middle East it has expanded to over 250 chains ! ( Source: Burger King ME Website)

" Millennials are defined as individuals between the ages of 16 and 34. In the United States alone, there are 80 million people in this category. They want to participate, or co-create, in a brand’s marketing. They crave adventure. They look to their peers for affirmation. They turn to social media — Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and the like — to express themselves.
