Many people believe that the islanders are a set of secluded people from the rest of the world and probably live off of coconuts and mangoes. Where we do have our own set of native dishes and restaurants within the capital city, Nassau, many food places that are popular world wide can be found here as well. From fast food joints such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King and KFC, to drink spots of Starbucks and Jamba Juice to full service restaurants like Carmine's, Johnny Rockets and Bennegan's the Bahamas has been considered pretty Americanized compared to the other islands in the region.
While we do wish to satisfy the comfort travellers that prefer to 
have familiar choices at their disposal, it is not unusual for the food place to give the franchise a Bahamian boost that makes it so unique. For example, instead of crispy chicken at KFC we have spicy chicken and the option of native dish peas and rice as a side. Also, Bennegan's has turned into a cultural affair showcasing our native musical festival every Friday throughout the restaurant.

For example, McDonald's is the number one fast food place in America and can be found at almost every corner, Burger King comes in second and KFC and Wendy's are scattered about. In the Bahamas, however, KFC is hands down the favorite food choice in Nassau with 10 locations with Wendys' in a close second owning 7 locations. McDonald's and Burger King trail behind with 3 locations each.
Lastly, I cannot speak about food franchises and not mention some fast food styles of our own. The most loved Bahamian styled fast food franchise is the Bahamian owned Bamboo Shack home of the "Chicken in Da Bag". This native fast food place does not even own a drive thru but is by far the most visited food place of them all. Serving dishes from fried chicken, to cracked conch and lobster to grilled jerk chicken and even burgers. This island cookery is the epitome of fast food back at home and every food chain takes a lesson or two from them.
While it is convenient for tourist and Bahamians who like American food to easily find it in Nassau, it is awesome that our native food place still comes out on top!
Now that you know - go see for yourself!

TRUE! No matter how strong the franchise’s foundation can be, there’s still a chance that you can be beaten. For example, this food restaurant A has excellent tasty chicken, but priced heavily. For that reason, food restaurant B can win the competition by simply selling cheaper. I guess this is what business really is, and nothing can change it.

It's not just about the price, but the product itself. You have to adjust to the needs of the people. You have to be very careful with these, especially if you'll be franchising a restaurant. You don't have to sell pork in communities that don't eat it. Change up your game if they don't fit your target market.
