Drive-thrus have been a staple in the United States for decades. It's crazy convenient, you can get your food quickly, and you never have to leave your vehicle. Fast food has dominated the drive-thru scene, but more businesses have hopped on the trend, including Panera, Starbucks, and Krispy Kreme.
Confused.com used search volumes and trends to pinpoint the most popular drive-thrus in each state.
According to the study, Washington state customers love Panera! Apparently, they can't keep their hands off those soups and bread bowls.
It turns out residents of the Evergreen State were the only ones who preferred this chain compared to other fast-food restaurants and brands. Not even Massachusetts, where Panera was founded. They're craving Krispy Kreme donuts!
America's favorite drive-thru, however, is Starbucks!
"Starbucks is one of the largest coffee house companies in the world and is officially crowned the ultimate drive-thru in the USA based on search volume alone," writers say. "It was also the most searched for drive-thru in 48 out of 50 states in the USA. Our study also found that out of the 30 most populated cities in the USA, Starbucks came out on top for 28 out of 30 cities."
