elektrified Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just what was was needed. Maybe they will erect another on the opposite side of the street directly across from this one. This seems to be a trend now. Has anyone else noticed the McDonald's and KFC's directly across from each other in the city? No need to get a little exercise walking across the street to get junk food now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Next step, converting a sports facility into a McDonald's drive through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 It's a well known historical observation that the best location for anyone who wants to open a burger joint is next to MCD. And when i looked at the NimmanHaeman MCD spot a week ago i thought the place would be 2 floors, no drive thru. Just like most MCDs in China.

It's called clustering, the South Koreans use it to great effect in Seoul, people wanting fried chicken for example typically find five or six fried chicken places all side by side, that way the consumer can choose where to eat and only the best survive, it's Darwinism of the fast food world - if they did that here all the MCD's would be history very quickly, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassosa Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 What a shame. Will make a point of never eating there. That Kam Rai joint was quirky, but nice. Never went there but liked it nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald's restaurants are found in 118 countries and territories around the world and serve 68 million customers each day. McDonald's operates 36,615 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 420,000 people. Not bad for the worst burger ever made. I wonder if that works for cars and hospitals too?

Mattress stores in the USA. 'Freakamomics' excellent podcast even did a show about why it works that way. There are king sized profits in beds, by the way.

Even Heston Blumenthal could not say McD sucks, but I'm not sure if that was just him erring on the side of diplomacy. I do occasionally indulge, but, I don't like the weird aftertaste, it's sort of metallic, I dunno, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMX Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I looked at this new structure for an hour yesterday, as about 7 trucks and a score of linemen worked on power lines on Nimmen, and (auto) traffic was stopped. I concluded, observing the nature of the locals walking there, that no neighborhood in northern Thailand was more deserving of their very own McDonald 'restaurant' - and I'm willing to bet that it will make money in huge amounts. Falangville should be ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you need some caffeine at 6:00am and can't wait another hour for Ristr8to to open (and you don't live that close to Nimman)- no argument on who serves up the superior cup of coffee, though.
