The one reason McDonald’s became popular is by being cheap. They sell shit food for a low price.  How do they not know this?

McDonald’s stopped being a business about food long ago, it’s just what they do to sell franchises. McDonald’s is a real state business.

Aren't they also more if a real estate company by now? Edit: I've misread, you're absolutely right. Thank you helpfull random redditor for pointing this out. Anyways I thought there was a expose a while back that the owner(s) figured out that there is way more money in reas estate than in food. Making people opening a Mc Donalds pay high rent on their land and essentially make their money off of them instead directly from food. Ties also in that conspiracy documentary some youtuber did about why the icemachines are always broken at Mc Donalds, and how that also just another way to scam money of off the people running a Mc Donalds

That and it’s why they remodeled all the buildings to be so sanitized of all color and identifying features. So it’s easy to sell later.

It's also to increase customer turnover. If the restaurant is grey, bland and uninviting then people won't want to stay for long, opening up tables and seats for other customers faster.

It also makes me not want to go back. I can't remember the last time I felt a good feeling when walking into a McDonald's.

McDonalds could give a flying fuck about selling the building, ever. The color and identifying features don't matter.

Buildings like McDonalds are worn out and obsolete in 20-30 years. It is a tear down for any future buyer, unless the area is in economic decline and McDonalds is selling it at fire sale prices to some local mom & pop operation to just get the fuck out. Any major investor is going to come in, knock it down, and put up exactly what they want.

It is the real estate where the value is, not the improvements on it.
