Useless Facts: Congrats D.C.! We didn’t make the Daily Beast’s list of cities with high numbers of franchise restaurants per 100,000 residents. But a number of Virginia cities did. When you crunch the numbers, Richmond is the capital of Olive Garden with three locations. (That’s 1.5 locations per 100,000 residents.) Richmond is also the capital of Hardee’s, with 11 locations. (That’s 5.4 locations per 100,000 residents.) Want Cracker Barrel? Chesapeake has three locations. (That’s 1.3 locations per 100,000 people.) Or Ruby Tuesday? There are five locations in Norfolk. (That’s 2.1 locations per 100,000 people.)
