Since I drive by it most days, it's had lines since it opened on Friday. We'll see how it does after the newness wears off.
That'll be at least 7 or 8 years. The McDonalds at Colony always has a backup.

Glad it opened in Magnolia that will save us having to go all the way over to 466 (Pinellas area)/ Next up I understand a gas station will be opening soon by Kenny's Grill. That will help too.

To me fast food is a convince, not a place I want to go. Glad to have that and gas more convenient.
Did you know that Starbucks regular, medium, and large coffee cups hold the exact same amount. The larger cups are designed taller but smaller in circumference to look like more. Buy one of each the next time and see it...

Have you ever seen a McDonald's go out of business? I understand that their business model is for the company to buy a failing franchise so that I doesn't close, even if it is losing money.

What is Kenny's Grill and where is it located? Never heard of it.

Then they pay 85% of that back in taxes. But "Big Brother" takes care of them for life. No thank you.

A moment on the lips, forever on the hips! I can't believe we gave up most fast food except The Chick!

When we visit N.J. it's almost a must to go to White Castle. Pay once and you get to have 'em several times. Burgers are called Sliders. No, you can't compare them to anything in Florida. They are truly special.

They can't serve those lobster burgers. A certain barefooted Canadian welched on her losing bet, so those are off the menu

So, You would rather go somewhere else in TV for the same meal @ $45.00 plus tip.

I swear there are people on here that actually want business to fail, they seem to take satisfaction in bad mouthing prices or food probably in places they haven’t even gone to , but I find the idea of McDonald’s pricing themselves out of business here in villages is laughable,

Are you kidding me? We're talking about MCDONALDS not the 4 Seasons. McDonalds will be the first building on the moon.

A good burger at a restaurant is a lot better than the burgers they sell at mcdonalds so the answer is yes but cost probably about $ 35

Starbucks cup size: The scam that wasn’t

Earlier this week, old rumours about Starbucks scamming its customers by serving the same amount of coffee in cups of different sizes were revived, thanks to a resurfaced video. Starbucks offers its customers beverages three sizes – tall (cups that can hold around 354 ml), grande (473 ml) and venti (591 ml).
