Massachusetts is home to a variety of fast food chains. If you’re in a pinch and need takeout for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you’re in luck because places like Dunkin’, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s, for example, can accommodate your fast food needs and/or cravings.

Speaking of fast food chains, Eat This, Not That! has released a list of the 50 biggest fast food chains in America in 2024. The chains were ranked by popularity by internet polling company YouGov. The article states that according to YouGov, a chain’s popularity is determined by the percentage of consumers who have a positive association with the brand. The list focuses only on fast food chains across America. The typical fast food chains you’d expect are represented, but YouGov also counted pizza and ice cream chains.

The least popular fast food chain in 2024 has only 4 locations in Massachusetts

Coming in last at number 50 is Carvel. When I think of Carvel, I usually think of the delicious ice cream cakes you can buy at the supermarket, but Carvel also has fast food outlets where you can buy cakes, ice cream, sundaes, shakes, and more.

If you want to visit a Carvel location in Massachusetts, you have a pretty slim selection, as there are only four to choose from in the entire state. The locations include Boston, Wrentham, and Natick (Natick has 2 locations) according to Carvel’s website.

Here are the exact addresses for each of the Carvel locations in Massachusetts

• Boston – 2 South Station (617) 330-9799
• Wrentham – 1 Premium Outlet BLVD (508) 384-2834
• Natick – Both Natick locations are located in the Natick Mall (1st floor and 2nd floor) – 1245 Worcester Street. Both locations have the same phone number (508) 650-0940

The list is quite entertaining and contains some surprises as well. You can check out the list here and decide if you agree with the fast food chain at number 1.
