    McDonald's

    Do you think McDonald's has a future.

    This was once a huge firm. But now it seems old.

    In the UK the popularity is going down hill.

    All news reports is that they are struggling.

    So do you think they will be in business in 5 years?

          They got a bit of stock boost when they debuted their new logo, maybe the popularity is down in England but I think its as strong as ever in the US.

          Take Luck!

                      Well personally speaking. I know most of my friends and neighbors skip McDonalds and head for either Burger King or Taco Bell if they want fast food. McDonalds is not what it use to be when i was growing up.

                          More of their revenue comes from rent than from food sales so yes, they'll be around for a long long time.

                          How you doin'?

                                      The problem with McDonald's is that I cannot see how they can change. after all they are a burger bar.

                                      In the UK there seems to be a wave of adverts for McDonalds, with a new slogan "we are loving it".

                                      I was always annoyed how they targeted children.

                                      When I was young McDonalds was new and exciting - but now, it seems old, and out of date. Its a place I would feel embarrassed to go to.

                                      I would think if any bad news reports came out, it would kill the company dead.

                                      I just cannot see how it can turn itself around.

                                      Plus £1 (one UK pound) seems very expensive for a few chips. You can go to a fish'n'chips shop and get a HUGE bag for 80p.

                                              I heard they were closing places. That's hardly expanding.

                                                      Mc Donalds is very popular here in Canada (at least where I live). Maybe people in uk are starting to wise up to fast food and not eat it as often.

                                                          $4.5 billion in sales last quarter, and over 1.5 million employees worldwide. I'd take any bet that they'll be around in 5 years.

                                                                                  This was once a huge firm. But now it seems old.

                                                                                  In the UK the popularity is going down hill.

                                                                                  All news reports is that they are struggling.

                                                                                  So do you think they will be in business in 5 years?
                                                                                  1) It still is a huge firm, about $18 Billion a year, and net income has grown over the past four quarters

                                                                                  2) Yes it will still be in biz in 5 years (stupid question)
                                                                                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

                                                                                          McDonald's is huge here in Brazil too. There are shops everywhere here in Sao Paulo.

                                                                                          But they're slowing down on business as well. For sure there is always customers, but not how it used to have. I believe last year they closed a shop for the first time since they first stablished here.

                                                                                          I know some people who stopped eating there as a boycott to US (those weekend ativists always think that McDonald's is the root of all evils, lol). But most doesn't go because of pricing.

                                                                                          A couple of years ago McDonalds was the cheapest place around for you to eat a fair burguer: it was around 5 reais a bigmac, coke and fries. Now it's almost 10 reais. You can eat in much better places for that price around here.

                                                                                          I believe they will be around for while. But they are losing it.

                                                                                          kisses,

                                                                                                              When the cow got chopped up, the best cuts went to supermarkets/local butchers, all the rubbish: hooves, tails, ears, cartelage, gristle went to the nearby McDonalds patty plant.

                                                                                                              But I still love it.

They are one of the largest landowners in the world, owning land in high value and rapidly growing markets. They will continue to find ways to make money from that land, and work into other industries.

They hire the most ghetto people they can find. They can't take an order without looking at the pictures and they still can't get the order straight.

                                                                                                                                          The McDonald's by me is so ghetto. It sucks! Last week I went to pick up my kids. We stopped at the McDonald's by their house. It's a much nicer area. I couldn't believe the difference. It was like walking in to a four star restaurant. The girl taking my order smiled, she tried to up sell me, and said please and thank you. They got my order right the first time and everyone in the place seemed happy. Then we get the food and take it home. The burgers looked nice. None of them were crushed, the fries weren't over done. God it was amazingly perfect. It was the way I used to think of them. I got so used to it being such a ghetto place I started to think of them as ghetto. So I think it all depends on the area the McDonald's is in.

                                                                                                                                          Ya, they'll be around forever I think.
