Surprise! Chain with 83 NJ Locations is Least Trusted

If there's one thing about living in New Jersey, it's that we love our food.

We are fortunate to have many choices available to us when we're looking for a meal.

Maybe you're looking for a fancy Italian restaurant or a seafood place with fancy tablecloths where you can enjoy finer foods.  There are endless choices.

For others, there are pizzerias, bagel shops, and diners, for a quick stop.

We also have plenty of chain restaurants where we can grab a hot meal at a reasonable price and decent quality.

The Most Trusted and Least Trusted Restaurant Chains in NJ

The trade magazine, Chain Store Age, conducted a survey to determine the most trusted, and least trusted brands in America.

In the restaurant category, Pizza Hut edged out KFC and McDonald's for the title of most trusted restaurant.

A restaurant chain with a whopping 83 locations in New Jersey was ranked among the least trustworthy of all chain restaurants.

Two of the least-trusted restaurant chains were Panera Bread and Sonic Drive-in. 

How do you determine if a chain restaurant is trustworthy?

What Makes the Restaurants Trustworthy

According to the story, some of the things that were factored in determining the trustworthiness of a restaurant included:

• Delivers on Promises
• Consistent Performance
• Listens to and Acts on Feedback

To be fair, of all the things factored into this survey, I was surprised that there was nothing about food quality, food handling, or even the cleanliness of the restaurants.
