Being one of the most famous and most wide-spread chain of restaurants, McDonald’s is the first choice of many when it comes to fast food.
Most of its restaurants are located in populated areas. Well, nearly all of them.
Recently, McDonald’s sparked controversy after someone noticed they are opening a restaurant at a remote place with no electricity at 8075 Avenue Marcel-Villeneuve in Saint-François, Laval, Quebec.
“Officially open for business. Our staff awaits you at our new restaurant at 8075 Marcel-Villeneuve, Laval,” the restaurant wrote on Facebook.
McDonalds’ Jéremy Lévy shared the excitement over the new location, saying: “I am delighted to be involved with the community of Saint-François on the occasion of this opening. Growing up with a father who is also a McDonald’s franchisee, I have had the opportunity to see him actively involved in the communities in which he operates his restaurants.
“Today, I am very excited to follow in his footsteps and get involved in the same way.”
The new restaurant vent viral after a TikTok user filmed it and shared it on the social media. @thumbs.up.canuck. expressed his confusion regarding the location. “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!” he could be heard saying.
In no time, the video was re-shared by a huge number of users who started a series of speculations and conspiracy theories.
Most claimed that McDonald’s Canada Corporate offices know something the rest of the world doesn’t know and they are hiding it from us.
“Then you know what’s coming, they wouldn’t put it there for nothing,” one person said.
Another added, “In two years it will be surrounded by houses strategically planned.”
A third claimed, “All the surrounding farms are about to be purchased and sold to developers.”
It is probably true that the area would soon become populated, and McDonald’s would be the first company to be operating there.
