McDonald's is a globally recognized brand with a chain of fast-food restaurants in more than 100 countries and territories. Therefore, we often see them serving food and drinks to people in densely populated areas.
Have you ever seen a new McDonald's open in an area where there are no people? Many people certainly think that it is not normal. However, a McDonald's chain left people baffled after it opened in the middle of nowhere in the Canadian countryside.
You don't mistake what you're hearing—McDonald's officially opened a new store at 8075 Avenue Marcel-Villeneuve in Saint-François, Laval, Quebec last week.
The restaurant wrote on Facebook: "Officially open for business. Our staff awaits you at our new restaurant at 8075 Marcel-Villeneuve, Laval."
The unique new restaurant has gone viral on TikTok after an account known as @thumbs.up.canuck uploaded a video.
In the footage, the TikToker is not excited; instead, they are left confused as the new McDonald's site does not have electricity.
If you were planning to rush to the new store for a hamburger and some fries, this area is not a good site.
He then turned back his car and explained: "It’s literally in the middle of farm field. It’s surrounded by farm, and there’s not even electricity yet. They’re running the damn place on a generator! That’s crazy!"
The video quickly went viral on social media, and while numerous people said they must know something that everyone else does not, some others suggested that a lot of conspiracy theories were coming out.
The site could eventually become part of a major truck stop, so some believe that this is a strategic real estate move. Commenters express the belief that these remote McDonald's locations are superior to centrally located alternatives.
One person said: Don’t know what they expect to happen when the farmer sprays fertilizer or cow crap is the most common. Ain’t no one gonna go there.
A second wrote: I would bet they’re expecting a lot of development in that area and you may want to try to invest.
A third commented: what's crazy is they can build a whole McDonald's and have it up and running before the utility can even get it power.
Someone else suggested: In two years it will be surrounded by houses strategically planned.
