15 Businesses and Industries that Make Money During Recession

Fast Food Industry

As consumers are scaling down their expenses and reducing the cost of their food choices during recessions, they are more likely to turn their attention towards fast food, as it offers the most important thing, nutrition, for the least money. During the last financial crisis, McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) saw its sales rise as the fast food chain focused on lower prices, with its Dollar Menu, and expanded its menu. In the UK, some fast food chains expanded their presence in the largest cities and some people also opened small restaurants and fast food shops after they lost their jobs.
