Coffee chain ranking

Coffee chains with the highest average unit volume

Average annual sales per shop as stated in Item 19 of the chain's FDD, or in a public company's annual report. Each company chooses which shops its average covers (for example franchised drive-thrus open a full year), so read the note on each row. Sales are not profit.
