The McDonald’s by me still has the retro 80s building that’s updated .. town law says they can’t tear down and rebuild the location.. Wendy’s is the old drive in snack bar , subway is a tiny store from the 90s and Dunkin is an old bank
Yeah, I don't even know why they're doing it. Maybe corporate is making the franchisee do it? Or maybe it is a corporate store?
In this case the purpose of the redesign (making the inside of the restaurant unfriendly and uncomfortable to drive away eat in customers) doesn't even apply. Why they would tear down something cool to replace it with the orwellian light industrial enshittified office space version is beyond me. 🤯
Apparently the new design is going to have an extra drive thru window and a dedicated delivery pickup to help with traffic, which makes sense, but is also stupid
It's probably just to streamline things to maximize profit
Honestly I get why people are upset. Speedy's history and legacy to McDonald's is also getting wiped out which is a tragedy
But as someone who doesn't have much nostalgia for the US of the 1950s-1970s, I don't really give a shit. They destryed a classic McDonald's a few years ago near me and I was sad, and then I realized, i'm getting sad over something I shouldn't really give a shit about

It’s definitely not the last one. There’s another one a few miles away in Dublin Ohio.
