The $500k-$750k estimate is more accurate. ($1.5 million to open a Burger King). I am re-reading Fast Food Nation, and they have a whole chapter on McD's franchises. Franchisees lease their land/buildings from the McD corporation. Franchisees have to buy their supplies from the McD corporation, etc. And the franchisee prays that they have enough sales, along with 3 other McD franchisees a block down the road, that their sales cover their operating expenses and franchise fee.
