I was thinking about this when I was coming home from work today. I drove through town and passed three McDonalds on my way home. There is another one just a few miles from my house so that makes four! Within a twenty mile radius I have four McDonalds resturants! I'm thinking that's a lot..lol..So how many McDonald's resturants are within your twenty mile radius? Is it more than four?

We have ALOT of resturants here too. McDonalds is the most popular chain I think though. There are pizza places and Mexican resturants out the wazoo. I think there are a little more resturants here than what we actually need too. Thanks for the input.

Jen-
We've got them everywhere out here! It just amazes me that you find them in truck stops, on every corner, and in every mall. You can't get away from them to be honest. And you add that with the other fast food chains in competition and it's like driving through cardiac arrestville. Oh well, at least I still have the will power to tell my kiddos no. Though, at age two our son knew just what those yellow arches were!!! So, I make him things at home that are similar but without the fat. And a large star wars toy always beats the cheap toys from McD's.

In the town closest to me there is only two McDonald's fast food restaurants and one is in it's own building while the other is located inside of our local Super Center Walmart. I don't know if it counts but it is in it's own area and has it's own seating and all. That is the only one we have. The next county over has like 4 though. But it is a 45-1 hour drive away.

About there, if within twenty miles radius in my area there are seven. They covered the entire area, so that anyone can have their burger at any time...lol.

There are at least four within a FIVE mile radius! Actually, make that six; I just thought of another one. If I make it ten miles there are at least eight or more.

Come on over! We could make a midnight run or two. Or even a marathon cruise around to a collection of them I am addicted to. It was fun. Thanks.

If I remember correctly there is at least one McDonald's within a few miles of my house in different directions. I still have to take a bus to get to all of them though lol.

LOL..well..I do have to drive to the ones in my area. I live in a small city but everything is very spread out here. I don't have public transit in my city. It's walk or drive here. I could probably make it to one in about 30 mins walking. Burn it off coming back...hey...there's an idea! Thanks for responding.

No.. Not more than four. I have seen only 2 McDonald Restaurants while I was on my way to office. Compare to McDonalds.. Subways are more in number in my place. And I usually go to subways. It doesn't mean that I don't like food in Mc :) I like the chicken and Veg Burger over there.

Presently in Jamaica we have no McDonald. We usually have but business was slow..., and they are closed permanently. To have some many Mcdonald in one circle that too much, I get they are trying to get you people eat fast food and not cook a healthy meal

This is such a cool discussion. I see you having some 93 responses.. congratulations on that, Jenin..
It is indeed a question that I've thought out before while on the bike. I felt like eating at Burger King, and I suddenly saw so many Mc'Ds that I wonder how many are in my neighborhood area.
Aplenty is just one word to sum up. I love the breakfast sets very much, and it could be anyone of it at all. I know the success of McDonald's and their franchises are making thick profits as well.
Perhaps there is a special attachment to it; in terms of bringing some great memories. My childhood days were spent eating there on some weekends. Spending time with family, enjoying time on the whole, awesome..
So in short, it will always have a special place in my heart. No matter how 'tired' I am of seeing the same menu over and over again.

Hi zed! Thanks! I knew I wasn't the only one that wondered about it when I drove by so many. Your right too. One day there is none and the next it seems there are a hundred..lol..I have a special mamory or two of McDonalds and childhood as well. My children do too. We don't eat there alot but I have had their b-day parties there with their friends. They loved it! I got really good pictures too! Take care and thanks for responding.

I live outside of a very small town in south Florida and we don't have even one McDonalds in our town...only Burger King and Subway. There's one in the next town to the south of us, which is about 15 minutes away but, if we head north, we'd have to drive for over half an hour to find one.

Wow good question let alone down town there is four. near my job there is five. Near my home there is at least six. So I would say there is at least fifteen total within a 20 mile radius of me.

LOL yeah one of them down town actually went out of business a few years ago. It was in the middle of three others. You go uo the street from that one there is another one you go left 2 blocks from the closed one there another one. you go down the street two blocks from the closed one there another one. It is crazy.
I heard in Hong Kong there is one like every few blocks.

I stay in India, a city called Pune. In the twenty mile radius, I suppose there aren't more than four McD's around here. Although the younger generation, including me sometimes flocks to those centres, McD, for some reason is not as widespread a phenomenon here. This is because there aren't too many here compared to the number of people and the ones that are there, they aren't that scattered. Another reason is that a considerable amount of people are veggies (At least many of my friends) and avoid eating at places serving meat et al. Yet, a few years ago, there was a news that broke out (Could also be a rumour. Dunno) that they served beef instead of chicken. The majority here is Hindu, so may be obviously......
