Historically, the fast-food chain closes a couple hundred locations each year, but […]
When it was built in 1954, the fast food restaurant at the corner of Ida and Monterey streets In San Luis Obispo was at the intersection of car culture, mid-century modern architecture and culinary convenience.

Former McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner analyzes the state of the fast-food industry as the U.S. economy slows on ‘The Claman Countdown.’ The National Owners Association called California’s recently-passed AB 1228 “draconian” and costly to franchisees in a memo distributed to its members. “The new ‘AB 1228’ legislation has been voted into law and will result in a devastating financial blow to California McDonald’s franchisees at a projected annual cost of $250,000 per McDonald’s restaurant,” the advocacy group representing some 1,000 […]

A Mexican fast food joint has opened which is a complete knock-off of California’s beloved In-N-Out. The burger restaurant in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, has gone viral on social media due to its resemblance to the iconic west coast chain, and its cheeky name ‘In-I-Nout’.
