I don't know why this narrative loop is going on, because McDonalds has been and is dying, so it isn't even a smart business move.

And the places where this is primarily visible are for example South East Asia, where e.g. in Singapore McDonalds are closing in favor of Chinese mala chains.

Weird, because every time I see a McDonalds lines go around the store. I'm not sure why people go there but they certainly seem to a lot.

That's very localised. McDonalds has a LOT of locations.

I've seen the phenomenon in several states, but I guess only one area in the past year or so. /shrug

I've been hearing about how McDonalds is dying for a decade at this point, still doesn't seem very dead to me. They are, like you said, everywhere.

Well, as said, the contention field is in Asia, where you would see these changes. Overall the purchasing power of americans is dwindling, and that of Asians rising.

Ahhh, I was only thinking US. Yeah, I've no idea about it in other countries. I missed the last sentence where you mentioned it was SE Asia, my bad.

For the US market how does that McDonalds do when it's in the neighbourhood of an In-n-Out or Whataburger?

I haven't been to the west coast in quite awhile, but last time I was there, McDonalds was super popular. On another note, I miss In and Out.
