I know that many people are focused on healthy eating today, but how does a McDonald’s go out of business?

Damn. I ate at that McDonald’s when I was a student.

 

[Nitt1300]

After my time, don't care

We had a Hooters go out of biz in Jupiter. 25 years ago! How? The girls were amazing.

I ate at that McDonald’s Friday night before the ‘95 Michigan game. We came up in an RV and I lost the group I was with as I kept falling with a knee I had just injured the Wednesday before playing hockey, was hammered, and the snow was falling. It was kind of a beautiful scene until I realized I had no idea how to get back to the RV. After standing in a long, long line at CC Peppers, I turned to go to my table and dropped the whole tray. I sat dejectedly at a table with no food, reading the student newspaper about the game in perfect double vision. Took me forever. Eventually I realized I had to leave and was still hungry so I got up and got to that McDonald’s where I remembered I had the phone number of my friend’s girlfriend. They came and picked me up and brought me to their apartment party that went on until the sun came up.
Good times. Glad I don’t do that anymore.

I first visited that McDonald's in 1984. Another part of my youth gone.

There was nothing more magical than walking up college ave totally alone in the snow stoned at 4am in the middle of the street listening to the traffic signals click to a new color above my head

I had my first Egg McMuffin there. I stopped in while lining up along College Ave to celebrate the 86 National Championship team with their parade. I remember seeing DJ Dozier on the float, and I yelled "HEY DJ, look!" And pointed to one of his jersey's that I was wearing. He got a huge smile and gave me a thumbs up.

I lived in Pollock my two years in the dorms. At least one night a week someone would run down there about midnight and my order was always a quarter pounder w/cheese and a filet-o-fish. No fries or drinks.

 

[JWB389]

Misleading headline, so I am told. My wife says they’re just relocating to one of the high rises.

 

[Bison13]

At one time when I was there, around 97 or 98, I thought they had said that it was the second busiest McDonald’s in the country.

I can still picture it clearly in my head. At the time it was happening and still today, it looks like the scene of George Bailey running home down the main street of Bedford Falls.

 

[Roar More]

Yikes. I was one of the crew that opened the place way back when.

I had heard that the busiest McDonald's was the one in Breezewood, PA, at the turnpike.

I remember the late 90s the SC location sold 5 cheeseburgers and a bag a fries for $5 after 1 or 2 am. Great hangover food.
