The Origin and
Popularity of Some Restaurants at USF
Pollo Tropical
In 1988 Brothers Larry and Stuart Harris open first Pollo
Tropical in Miami at 741 NW 37th Avenue. Since then they have expanded to countries
and islands such as Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Bahamas, Dominican Republic,
Honduras, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico.
Chick Fil A
The first store opened up in Georgia, 1946. As of April 2012, there are 1,614 Chick-fil-A
in 38 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Chick Fil A has largely appealed to the Southern states in the U.S.
although they have announced plans to expand in the West, Mid-West, and North
East in 2015 and 2016.
Subway
Fred DeLuca and Peter Buck opened up their first subway in
1968.
At the end of 2010, Subway became the largest fast food
chain worldwide, with 33,749 restaurants – 1,012 more than McDonald's. There are thousands of subways throughout 107
Countries and territories. There are 395
Subway restaurants in 68 cities of India as of January 2013. Subway is the fastest expanding food company
in the world.
Panda Express
The first one opened up in Hesperia, California. It’s the largest American Chinese restaurant
in the United States. They have just fewer
than 1700 restaurants located in 47 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
Moe’s
Moes’s franchise hasn't been around long. They have about 550 restaurants in operation
in 35 states. In the year 2000 the first
Moe’s opened up as a Southwest grill.
These are just a few of the restaurants the Tampa Campus of
The University of South Florida offers.
They provide a wide range of meals from Asian to Southern American
dishes. The University has made an
attempt to appeal to all cultures with having two Subways because Subway is the
most popular fast food restaurant in the world. USF has chosen to have the two Subways in the most popular locations on campus because it is one of the healthier restaurants, offering whole grain sandwiches with plenty of vegetables to choose from.
