What is the # volume of independent restaurants/small chains in the following regions? Bay Area, Greater NYC , Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Greater Miami, Dallas FT Worth, Atlanta
Hello! Thank you for your question about the volume of independent restaurants and small chains in the provided cities. I created a spreadsheet to break down my results for easy viewing. Please read further for more information on how I came to my findings.
In order to find the data requested, I used Factual's US Restaurant Data and did a search for each city. For the Dallas/Fortworth area, I looked at both Dallas and Fortworth separately and combined the totals. On the side of each search, Factual provides a list of fast food restaurants and how many of each restaurant is in each city. I used these numbers to determine the number of independent restaurants by subtracting the total number of all fast food restaurants from the total number of restaurants in the entire city.
Small chain restaurants are defined as chains with less than 15 restaurants in the city. I've provided the total number of small chains by two categories. For example, if Starbucks has 5 locations and Wendy's has 5 locations, this would be considered a 2 for number of small chains but a 10 for total number of small chains. This gives you an idea of how many unique small chains are in each city as well as the total of all locations.
-Name of the City
-Number of Independent Restaurants
-Number of Small Chains (per chain)
-Total Number of Small Chains (The sum of all small chains)
-Total Number of all Chains
-Total of All Restaurants (independent and chains)
CALCULATIONS
I used the total number of all restaurants (Column F) and subtracted the total number of chains (Column E) to find out the total number of Independent Restaurants (Column B).
Example:
San Francisco has 10,423 total restaurants and 296 of them are considered large or small chain restaurants for a total of 10,127 independent restaurants.
San Francisco:
10,423 - 296 = 10,127
New York City
31,914 - 1,026 = 30,888
Philadelphia
11548 - 584 = 10,964
Boston
3,989 - 1,072 = 2,917
Chicago
16,720 - 1,315 = 15,405
Washington DC
6,380 - 410 = 5,970
Los Angeles
16,992 - 888 = 16,104
Greater Miami
3,861 - 176 = 3,685
Dallas/Fortworth
11,543 - 1,299 = 10,244
Atlanta
6,560 - 662 = 5,898
All of these calculations as well as the above listed categories can be found in full on the spreadsheet here and were all sourced from US Restaurant Data.
CONCLUSION
I've provided the volume of independent restaurants and small chains for the requested cities. The information can be found on this spreadsheet.
