McDoonald's Grand Opening Mismanaged
No one with any retail experience in any business would
ever set a public time certain for opening and promoting
a new location. I'm assuming this is a McOpCo store or
an Operator who is letting corporate people make all
the decisions.
The drive for increased sales has officially become mindless.
McDonald's Grand Opening Snubbed Customers
Update:
This is how to open a business - a private, soft event
the day before, a press release the next morning and open
in the afternoon.

The Fight for Fairness in Franchising
"Imagine owning a small business for 20 years, pouring all your time, money and sweat into achieving a decent cash flow and a little equity. Then imagine getting a contract in the mail stipulating that if you want to continue doing business, you must replace thousands of dollars of perfectly good equipment, adjust suppliers or prices or make a dozen other changes that could destroy your bottom line. And if you don't sign, you more or less forfeit your life's work."
Yeah, just Imagine!
