From 2006

“We were a slight bit below the national (store sales) average four years ago and now we’re a slight bit above the national average,” he adds. Four years ago, the national sales average per store was about $1.6 million. Today, Huebner says, it’s close to $2 million."


According to McFranchise the owner will net at least 10%

(it's $300,000 liquid now, I stand corrected).

I know one of the other tricks is that you can leverage your existing McD against new ones, so it's very easy to end up running multiple stores once you get into the system.

No. I don't even know what that is, actually. I grew up right down from there in Chester, in fact - on 22nd St (what McDude turns into).

i never worked at a McDonald's.

because if i did, it would have been in Fox Chase. (Fox Chase isn't bad, but a McDonald's in Fox Chase might as well be North Philly)
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

Really? I don't think the one on Oxford is that bad. My brother used to work at the Popeye's next door. Had to deal with Asians with coupons for 22 pieces of chicken and that was about the worst of it.

I avoided working in a fast food joint or Hersheypark by instead working in a cave.

nah it's not. actually, that's probably the only decent one near me.

i went to that Popeye's once because my dad had a coupon. i think he got pissed off about something and vowed not to go there again. i think it was because there were like two people working and it took us like 15 minutes to get our food even though we were the only ones there. but it doesn't take much to piss off my dad, so

I'm glad my brother could contribute to your dad's anger.

it was a club on mcdade in woodlyn. Circa 1982, 1983 my band used to play sunday night "teen nights" there. We were like GODS. Delaware County high school girls FTW. (I was only like 19!). I think that may have been your age bracket. You wouldn't have liked us, though. Sprigsteen, Beatles, etc. I think the hardest tune we did was Baba O'Riley. I played this little handheld casio for the synth riff. It sounded perfect.
