Ryan Horne+FollowFrom Parking Lot to $1B Hot Chicken EmpireDid you know Dave’s Hot Chicken started with just $900 and a parking lot pop-up in LA? Now it’s got over 300 locations and just got scooped up for a billion dollars! The founders went from folding chairs and a fryer to being the fastest-growing restaurant in America. Some fans are nervous about the new owners, but the OG crew says the spicy magic isn’t going anywhere. Wild, right? #HotChicken #FastFoodNews #DaveShotChicken #Food31Share

Christina Davis+FollowHardee’s Drama: Will Your Local Close Early?Heads up, burger fans! Hardee’s might be shutting down 76 spots across the South because one of its main operators kept closing early—sometimes before dinner! The company says missing out on late-night cravings and skipping loyalty deals is a big no-no. If you love a late burger run, you might want to check your local Hardee’s hours before heading out. Fast food chains are feeling the pinch, so your favorite spot could be next! #Hardees #FastFoodNews #BurgerLovers #Business40Share
FoodieFirst+FollowMcDonald's Late-Night Just Got Better 🍟McDonald's is about to make your midnight cravings way easier to satisfy! Most locations across the U.S. will stay open until or after midnight starting this summer—so late-night fries are officially on the menu. Plus, they’re giving away free McCrispy Strips and merch on May 24 in LA, NYC, and Detroit (and 1,000 virtual gift cards too). Not every spot will have the new hours (think airports/malls), but this is a big move. Who’s hitting the drive-thru after midnight? #McDonalds #LateNightEats #FastFoodNews #Food70Share
Christina Davis+FollowHardee’s Drama: Will Your Local Close?Heard the buzz? Hardee’s might shut down dozens of spots in the South after a big fight with one of its biggest franchise owners. The beef? The franchisee says they had to cut hours and skip loyalty apps to stay afloat, but Hardee’s wants everyone on the same page. If you love late-night burgers or racking up rewards, this legal mess could mean fewer options soon. Fast food’s getting tougher for everyone, not just Hardee’s! #FastFoodNews #Hardees #MoneyHacks #Business20Share
Ryan Horne+FollowBK’s Dragon Menu Is Breathing Fire!Burger King just dropped a How to Train Your Dragon collab and fans are LOSING IT. The new menu is all about fiery flavors—think a flame-grilled Whopper on a red-orange bun, spicy mozzarella fries in a Toothless carton, strawberry lemonade, and a Viking’s chocolate sundae. People are already joking they want ‘one of everything’ and can’t wait to see what toys come with the meals. Who else is ready to try the whole lineup? #BurgerKing #HowToTrainYourDragon #FastFoodNews #LimitedEdition #FoodieFinds #Food00Share
Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowNo More Donuts with Your McMuffin?Heads up, donut lovers! McDonald’s and Krispy Kreme’s sweet team-up might be fizzling out before it really takes off. That means those dreamy donuts you spotted at some McDonald’s could disappear, and most locations won’t get them at all. Why? Krispy Kreme is hitting pause on the rollout, thanks to shaky sales and some economic jitters. If you want a donut with your coffee run, better check if your local spot still has them! #McDonalds #KrispyKreme #FastFoodNews #FoodieAlert #MoneyHacks #Business20Share
rmartinFollowingIn-N-Out Cleans Up Its Menu!In-N-Out just dropped artificial dyes and high-fructose corn syrup from their classics! Their strawberry shakes and pink lemonade are now made with natural colors, and ketchup is switching to real sugar (bye, corn syrup). It’s all about cleaner ingredients and keeping up with new FDA rules. Other chains like Steak ’n Shake and Sweetgreen are making similar moves—could this be the start of a fast food glow-up? #FastFoodNews #CleanEating #IngredientUpgrade #InNOut #FoodTrends #Health70Share
Brenda Cohen+FollowMcDonald's Massive Hiring Spree 🍔McDonald's is about to hire 375,000 people and open 900 new restaurants across the US! That’s their biggest hiring push since 2020. They’re not just flipping burgers—employees can get tuition help through their Archways to Opportunity program (over $240 million invested so far). Even with recent sales drops and E. coli scares, they’re betting big on growth and keeping that $5 Meal Deal rolling. Golden Arches glow-up, anyone? #McDonalds #Jobs #Hiring #FastFoodNews #CareerOpportunities #JobCareer00Share
Michael Alvarez+FollowWendy’s Frosty Just Got a Wild RemixWendy’s is shaking up their classic Frosty for the first time in 50+ years! They’re rolling out Frosty Swirls (chocolate or vanilla with strawberry, caramel, or brownie batter sauce) and Frosty Fusions—think mix-ins like strawberry Pop-Tarts, Oreo Brownies, and Caramel Crunch. You can still get the OG, but these new combos sound next-level. Would you try the Pop-Tart one or stick with the classic? #Wendys #Frosty #FastFoodNews #DessertLovers #Foodie #Food30Share
