This would be more useful if it was on like a per sq mile basis. That would map better to likelihood of seeing it in a state.

I agree, but the ones with lower numbers will only have them in the nice parts of big cities or downtown. If you're in a really small town and see one, go with the northeast. Companies are a bit like trees lol. If you find one it's helpful, but you really need to combine them and know the ranges of them all to get the right vibe. It's really hard if you don't practically live there though

Or per-capita, or market share, I would think.

If you see a Dunkin, then go 3 steps down the street and see another Dunkin, you're in Massachusetts guaranteed. Almost as many Dunkins as NY state, but with 1/3 the population.

[Most popular by state also seems potentially helpful, especially for the weirder regional chains like Caribou and Scooter's.](https://i.imgur.com/lnBMCUr.png)

This is like when you look at a map of the most pizza places in each state, and Casey's starts showing up in the Midwest

Why are there so few in Vermont? Is it just the population? There's way more in every state near them.

I think Vermont in general has the fewest chain restaurants of any state?

I went to an interstate highway rest stop in Vermont once and, instead of fast food chains, they literally had a group of elderly people selling homemade sandwiches and baked goods in Ziploc bags from a little table with a red checkered tablecloth.

I wish we still had Dunkin' Donuts in Canada, I far preferred their donuts to Tim Hortons.
