In Iceland.
It's hard to imagine that a company as world renown as McDonald's would have to close any of its stores, but the current state of the global economy is forcing Jon Gardar Ogmundsson, the franchise owner of the three branches in Iceland, to do just that. The country of Iceland is on the brink of bankruptcy and costs of importing anything, let alone the packaging, meat, vegetables and cheese for each store has doubled. Some of the population won't be sad to see the golden arches come down. But from the time of the announcement that a Big Mac will soon be impossible to buy, the three stores have seen a boom in business, with lines reaching out the doors.
via I rarely eat burgers but the idea of McDonald's having to close its doors is sort of strange.

I haven't been to a McDonald's in years. Will probably never see the inside of one again. |

Burger King is better. iceland is a small country - 3 McDonalds - where it is more readily seeable. Stores close all over the world all the time due to the economy. Sooo Sad. Really - economy needs to improve to avoid a lot of closings. |
