School areas 'flooded' by fast food chains - study
The Guardian
|December 04, 2024
Fast food chains such as KFC, Domino's and Subway are "flooding" areas close to schools by opening almost 1,000 outlets near them in recent years, research reveals.
Subway has opened 420 takeaways within 400 metres of a school in England, Scotland and Wales since 2014, while Domino's and Greggs have opened 354 and 329 outlets respectively.
The number of schools that have a takeaway or cafe or restaurant nearby run by one of the 10 biggest fast food chains and coffee shops most popular with young people has risen from 2,474 to 3,411 over the last decade - a 38% increase.
Their growth has been so rapid that three out of four (76%) of all branches of the pizza chain Domino's are now situated within 400 metres of a school, according to research by Dr Jody Hoenink, a Medical Research Council-funded epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge.
