Well, this has certainly stoked up a few different opinions .Personally, Id rather eat cardbord than a McDonalds. But one thing is absolutely sure. When a global brand wants to open a new outlet, they don't take risks. McDonalds would have done a lot of market research on the area.If the local population were or are for/against this venture,it won't take long to find out, believe me. If the local people don't object, I really can't see why we should !!!.
