I hope the government seizes all of them. McDonalds is basically a real estate investment company.
Yeah I’ve heard when purchasing a franchise from McDs they retain ownership of the property.
I’m no businessman but personally that doesn’t sound like a good deal.
You bought into that line?
Trying to figure out what you mean by this.
Franchisees own their stores and likely lease the land from themselves or other parties. You certainly have to already be wealthy to buy in. Last time i looked it was something like 2 million dollars to buy a franchise license. Usually some very wealthy person in an area owns all the McD’s. McD’s corp makes TONs of money off the franchise fees, marketing materials, and selling the McD’s products to the franchisees, who are essentially a captive audience. I don’t think McD’s corporation owns more than a few stores these days.
