Does your city or town have too many McDonald's and not enough Burger Kings? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 09-14-2008, 11:12 AM

We have way too many McDonald's and not enough Buger Kings. There is a McD's on just about every major street, sometimes we have two McDonald's on long major streets, it's sickening. It is so bad that at a nearby super Walmart, there is a McD's inside there, and across the street, there is a free-standing McDonald's.

Now we don't have enough of Burger Kings here. I am fortunate to live down the street near one, but the next one is like 6 miles. Most of out BKs are in the suburbs, and the ones we have are all scattered. We have more Wendy's in the city than BK. I can count the # of BK's we have here, I can't count the # of McDs we have here.

In Ravenswood, there is a McDonalds and a Wendys but no Burger King. There
is a Burger King in Ripley, about 11 miles from Ravenswood.

There are virtually no Burger Kings here in New York City. McDonalds has the fast food burger monopoly here.

EmoJoe · 09-14-2008, 01:41 PM

theres 2 McDonald's and 2 Wendy's within 5 minutes of me, and the closest Burger King is probably 10 minutes away. but i dont mind cause i dont like Burger King, lol.

InspectorExstead · 09-14-2008, 01:41 PM

there's definitely not enough burger kings around here. there's a lot of mcdonald's but the burger kings are more spread out. there's more wendy's than burger king as well.

catlover79 · 09-14-2008, 01:50 PM

Well, my town has a couple of each - plus Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Dairy Queen, Wendy's, IHOP, Steak N Shake, all the essentials.

Mikado · 09-14-2008, 04:05 PM

we have 2 McDs, one BK, but, thats plenty, no one eats at BK anyway...so we dont need ANOTHER

OH Nuts! · 09-14-2008, 04:19 PM

In NYC we have puhlehnty of both - and I try to stay out of both as much as I can - too tempted to eat all the things that are bad for me even though both do have healthy options - I am so craving a milkshake right how - a real no no w my blood sugar.

TJL · 09-14-2008, 04:31 PM

Did a little google search and there's almost 250 McDonalds compared to 92 Burger Kings.

I am surprized there's that many BK's. I have no idea where the nearest one is.

BarneyFife · 09-14-2008, 05:12 PM

We have five McDonalds within a ten minute drive from my house, and one Burger King.

SBTB Geek · 09-14-2008, 06:00 PM

We have enough Burger King's, Jack in the Box, and McDonald's. The one fast food joint I don't see as often is Wendy's. There's one three miles away from my house and the second nearest is like 14 miles away. That's crazy considering I live in a huge city.

I'll consider it a blessing in disguise.

JulieSomoski · 09-14-2008, 06:58 PM

We have 3 McDonalds within walking distance from my house. The closest Burger King is about 4 miles away from where I live. And I'd consider Burger King to be the better one of the two, too.

Wreckless · 09-14-2008, 08:34 PM

Burger King needs a new mascot. That guy, especially in commercials is creepy lol. He looks like and is painted like the odd next door neighbor. I like both places fries, Mickey D's has better burgers, while I like charcoil burgers, I love me some McDonalds lol. McDonalds offers breakfast too and has a nice variety on their menu. Cookies, pastries, McFlurries, fast food etc. Point it, the variety we have of Mickey D's to BKs is fine for me lol.

Number 9 Dream · 09-14-2008, 09:12 PM

It's funny you mention BK--I just had some today

Anyway, I love BK and I'm pissed that there aren't any close to me (that could be a good thing). The closest one is about 20 minutes away. There used to be one 5 minutes away but it shut down

On the other hand, we have about 8 Mcdonalds on one major road alone

I've always like McDonald's fries better-LOL. Just something about them puts them a step above Burger King and Wendy's. And my locals have just added the 3 for $1 cookies to the menu, and they're pretty good cookies. Something different that other fast food chains don't have.
