Joanie Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Has anyone else heard the rumor that there's a McDonald's going in across from Bruno's on the carretera? Hopefully, it's just a rumor. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Berca Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sure. Every year. Not to mention a Costco and/or Sam’s Club. Every single year for at least the last 15. Same rumor, but location can change. Newbies usually fall for it. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 plus what difference does it make? I live in a historical, pueblo magico and they have a Burger King on one of the pietonal street and a MacDonald in one of the shopping centers and we all survive it and can get a burger if we feel like it. Ajijic is no pueblo magico and it has OXXOs so why not a hamburger franchise..it sure would not destroy the look of the carratera...😄 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Not any worse than a tacky pawn shop, how can they possibly make enough money to support that prime location ? Unless its laundering money. I've always wondered what is on the second level with no windows whatsoever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t like their burgers you don’t have to eat there...The reason McDonalds is such a successful company is that millions of people world wide like the product they offer.. I’m sure it would be successful here.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 McD as well as Starbucks will not build in a location that can't accommodate a drive thru. Makes more sense where Exotica Nursery is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I read an interesting book many year ago, that McDonald's, the corporation, was never about the food. They consider themselves, and their mission statement, as a property development company. They were able to influence and forecast changes in entire neighborhoods. They build and invest, then let franchisees to do the food stuff. McDonalds in urban cities in Canada are sad affairs these days. During the day and early evening, screaming packs of kids wanting their " donalds". In the evening shifty looking homeless people nursing their free coffees for hours. That is why their drive throughs are so popular. https://qz.com/965779/mcdonalds-isnt-really-a-fast-food-chain-its-a-brilliant-30-billion-real-estate-company/ 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I know dozens of Starbucks and McDonald's that have no drive-through, actually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cooked healthy dinners for my kids. They would sometimes say "Mom,all our friends go to McDonalds, why don't we?". I'd explain how it wasn't real food and not healthy. But of course, they thought they were missing out. Then, I was once doing a 3 day fast and didn't feel like dealing with food at all. I decided to get them fast food for those 3 nights. First night was Kentucky Fried, second night was Chinese take-out. They were fine with that. 3rd night I went and got them Big Macs and fries, thinking they'd be thrilled. I put it on the table, called them down for dinner. I was fussing around in the kitchen and there was dead silence at the table, quite unusual. I looked over to see them all with the Big Mac wrapper peeled back, all of them staring at it, and looking at each other. Finally my middle daughter looked over at me and rather apologetically said "Mom, we can't eat this". 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 From the same source as the other article. McDonalds food sales have dropped every year for the past three years. Only 20% of millenials have ever tasted a Big Mac. I doubt that any McDonalds in Mexico would become ad hoc homeless shelters. https://qz.com/892474/mcdonalds-mcd-introduces-giant-and-small-big-mac-burgers-in-hopes-of-driving-us-sales/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 We have so many places around here that make a vastly better burger than MD or BK I can't see why we need either of them. I'm still holding out for Freddy's however. Great burgers plus to die for soft ice cream. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Don't want to contest you but I haven't found many good burger places around here. Of course they would be better than McDonalds but I think Burger King is better than what I have seen here. To many places here use soy or an additive. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to contest you either but the truth is you have not found many burger places around here that you like. Good is in the taste of the eater. A couple of years ago I ate a Burger King burger and it was pretty bad; most burgers I get around here are much better. In my opinion.
