    betpoints REWARDED If I get a link

    Basically, I will offer betpoints to someone who can provide me with a link/research article on "How many McDonald's have closed in the US The last 20 years"

    - This is an extra credit problem but the professor said it would be hard to find and I am too lazy to look it up and tried for 30 minutes and failed."

    - Keep this in PT because I'm giving puntos.

    Nah, I saw an article that 180 were shutting down in Chicago. So, I'm sure there are more than that.

    Ok one way to do this is to check out the annual reports throughout the last 20 years.

    Here is an example of one.

    http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/conten...rt%20Final.pdf

    You will have to do some math this way, but you should be able to achieve it...

    the link above from what I can see gives you 2011 and 2010 so you may be able to only have to look up every other year, now the issue will arise do you also need satellite stores as well?

    Sounds like a bit of a trick question.

    2011 Annual report talks about 400 odd closing down worldwide last year. God knows how you could work out 20 years worth if that is indicative. Let alone just for the US.

    *Edit: looks like a few others had the same idea before I posted.

    I bet the answer is supposed to be none, or just one maybe.

    Will be by some McD corporate definition that none of these closures are actually "going out of business" closures.
