America’s Most Untrustworthy Restaurant Chain Has Locations in New Jersey

For any business, being known as trustworthy is the highest praise.  Whether you are a restaurant or furniture store, your reputation is just as important as the quality of the product you offer to consumers.

A new study by Clarify Capital and published by Chain Storage Age surveyed thousands of Americans to find out what brands consumers trust the most. They asked people what major brand names in different industries they most and least trust from retail to restaurants.

According to survey respondents, the most popular answers that researchers received for what makes a brand trustworthy include:

*Delivers on promises (36 percent of respondents)
*Pricing transparency (35%)
*Builds relationships with consumers (34%)
*Consistent performance (33%)
*Employee treatment transparency (30%)

What is the Most Untrustworthy Restaurant Chain with locations in New Jersey

In the new study's Restaurants category, one chain brand failed to meet many of the respondents' prerequisites for trustworthiness.  This restaurant chain currently has 15 locations in the state of New Jersey.

Survey results found that 20 percent of Americans said Panera Bread is a Trustworthy brand, making this the third Most Untrustworthy Restaurant Brand in the United States.
