31 Restaurant Chains Needed Right Now in Western Massachusetts

Everyone in Massachusetts knows how important it is to support local restaurants throughout all the communities in the Bay State. There are so many of those local restaurants that are incredibly amazing and in all honestly, just irreplaceable! But why not add some more options overall? Let's get a little greedy for a second...

When it comes to restaurant chains per capita, Massachusetts is pretty much in the middle of the pack compared to the other states throughout the U.S. In the Bay State, we have 77.5 restaurant chains per 100,000 residents. That is a far cry from our neighbors in New York with 92.3 per 100k residents. What's the deal with Massachusetts lacking in that area?

So yes, we absolutely need more options for dine-in, takeout, delivery, or just to stop off for a quick bite when we're in a hurry. Fast food happens to be pretty convenient for all those cases. Besides, we're in a popular region for tourism. We might as well show off the best selection of restaurants we possibly can to everyone passing through.

For all of those reasons and more, the more options we have, the better! While there are some terrific fast food chains that have popped up on the eastern side of the state recently, how about some new fast food locations making their way to the western side of the Bay State? How about we bring some of these, if not all of these, restaurant chains from the list below to western Massachusetts?

Maybe you even have some restaurants in mind that you would like to see here. Let's go ahead and be greedy about it. Perhaps you might see a few that you happen to agree with on the following list. Either way, here's a list of some restaurant chains and fast food joints to bring to western Massachusetts...
