people are going to kill them selves slowing eating crap, smoking crap and drinking crap whether mcdonalds doubles it locations or closes all together. The vast majority of the population doesn't care enough to stop.

Not as newsworthy as when Starbucks closed a bunch of stores and the morning news broke with the story and which locations will be affected...as if they were covering an outbreak of the plague.

McD's are simply moving stores around. In the end they may close more than they open, but this isn't a sign of them failing or Americans rejecting fast food to become more healthy.

McD's did $27 billion in revenue last year, with $4.7 billion in profit after all expenses. They are just fine.

So, you're saying the US Government gives McD's billions of dollars of US taxpayers' money?

I think it's a stab at bailing out the banks, even though the banks already paid back all those billions plus interest. Probably the most profitable investment the US govt has made, and returned in only a few years.

all I see is the 4.75 billion they net'd. yeah, they're struggling.....

These past year I've kept hearing McDonalds is struggling but you'd never know it from their stock price, it's not taken a hit. It's at an all time high actually.

I think some need to close, I understand they're popular, but they're way too dense, at least around me. There are like 8 I can get to within a 7 minute drive. There's one inside the Walmart and a regular one directly outside. There are 2 in easy walking distance from me, that's overkill imho.

That's why I am asking you, I saw this news everywhere in FB, TW .... I found only one closed MD in my area, and one Burger King.

I'm confused. You're saying they're closing everywhere, except you only found one closed in your area, so you're basing this on... nothing?

I'm not stating my opinion, i'm stating facts that i have read and witnessed with my own two eyes. Here is everything you need to know about your local mcdonalds.

"McDonald’s said in April that it planned to close about 700 underperforming restaurants worldwide this year. " http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox...urants_in_2015_for_first_time_in_decades.html

Can you quote the relevant parts of that article that lend credence to your position? I couldn't find any.

If you could not find any then there is no point to further your investigation. It seems that you don't want to believe in this, and you like many others believe this is all just a lie.

Ok, so conspiracy theory without evidence. Got it.
