Founding cities of restaurant chains Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Every question asks you to match a restaurant chain to its founding city, sharpening your recall of brand history and real-world geography.

You’ll also build quick association skills—linking a chain’s identity, region, and early expansion story to the place it started.

How the quiz works

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think it through without pressure. Choose your question count to play a quick round or a longer session, and select a difficulty setting to keep it casual or more challenging.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many players mix up a brand’s headquarters with its first location, or confuse the “first franchise” city with the original opening. Another frequent trap is assuming the chain started in the city it’s most strongly associated with today.

Don’t confuse founding city with current corporate HQ
Watch for similarly named cities in different states/countries
Separate “first location” from “first franchise” facts
Use regional clues (menu style, early market) to narrow choices
When unsure, eliminate options that don’t match the chain’s early footprint

Difficulty balance

Difficulty is mixed: well-known chains and widely reported origin cities appear alongside tougher, lesser-known founding locations. The quiz balances straightforward items with trickier ones so you can build momentum while still getting a real challenge.
