I can see the rotating billboard now on turnpike. Come eat at our new McDonalds, just minutes from the turnpike. Visit the southern area of TV see what TV has to offer.

Yeah, 550 million a year in the US alone isn't very many.

I don't eat much fast food but on the rare occasion that I do, I much prefer Burger King over MacDonalds. To me it's not even close.

We are all rooting for you, it will keep a lot of traffic from having to go north and clog up the roads just to eat dinner or go shopping or to the doctor if it gets developed quickly down there.

Fast Food in a Primarily Residential Area?
 
Does anyone think that having a McDonald's in a primarily quite residential area is a good idea? What is the target demographic the Morse Family and McDonald's corporation targeting? Shouldn't it have been located maybe, just maybe, near the new family area at the intersection of 501 and 470? Get ready for the eventual 24/ 7 operation, increase traffic and delivery trucks arriving at all hours.

It's on a major road in what's basically a regional shopping complex right next to one of the biggest regional rec centers. Sounds like the perfect place to locate it.

i would too, but i cannot get a hot meal from the ones near us. food is consistently served cold & if you take it back, they look like you've asked for the world. does yours serve hot, & if so, which one?

Sorta like the one at Colony that is in a residential area, who were they targeting up there? The new family area will be located at the Turnpike and 470 and there will most likely be a lot of fast foods and motels at that exit with all the new homes and apartments going in over there. It should be quite a busy interchange.

Here too. Burger King is much better than McDonald's.

Have not had McDonald's in years but doubt it has changed all that much. Probably have not had a Big Mac since 2007 or even before that.

The trick is to have it made slightly differently so they have to make it to order.

I'd be happy with just a good restaurant in TV land. on another note, Wawa has good breakfast sandwiches.
