McDonalds is Japan’s number one food provider and anyone who has been
to a major metropolitan city there has seen the impact that the
American fast-food behemoth has had on both the landscape (golden arches
everywhere) and on the eating habits of the average Japanese citizen
(people lining up for chow and toting take out bags en masse). So it is a
little bit surprising to hear that McDonalds Japan is slimming down by
planning to slam the doors shut on over 100 of its lowest performing
restaurants...
Rocket News 24 quotes the official company statement as saying,
“Despite the launch of new and better value menus, we have seen a
decrease in sales as, in the current financial climate, dine out less
frequently in an effort to economize …For this reason, we have decided
to close the 110 least well performing restaurants as of the beginning
of 2013.”
"Thanks for the memories!" Come 2013, everyone in this picture will either be dead or in jail...
The good news is that McDonalds Japan will compensate for the growing hamburger deficit by expand its burgeoning delivery service.
Let’s hope that a fleet of scary Japanese Ronald McDonalds will soon be
delivering Big Macs, Fillet-O-Fish, Quarter Pounders, French Fries, Icy
Cokes, Thick Shakes, Sundaes, and Apple Pies across the Land of the
Rising Sun.
