Over the last few years, many restaurants have come and gone. New places have opened, but not for long, while chains that once dominated the northwest and America have closed multiple locations or gone entirely out of business. For one reason or another too many places have been closing and it would appear that what society wants to eat and enjoy has changed. Not many places have been succeeding over the last few years, but there are exceptions. One popular food chain in Idaho, Washington, and Utah is thriving and is looking to expand significantly shortly by adding 900 new locations.

While many fast food chains are struggling and closing locations nationwide, one is doing the opposite and is looking to add 900 new locations as a massive expansion is on the horizon. It was recently announced that McDonald's will be adding many new restaurants that will also offer over 375,000 new employee opportunities. With so many job opportunities at these new locations, there is no reason that high school students, college students, or anyone for that matter should complain about not being able to find a job. This many new locations will not pop up overnight, and it is expected that all the new locations will be open by some time in 2027. How is it that McDonald's can open this many new stores while other places are closing locations?

One thing that McDonald's is thriving at is adapting. The world is changing and so is customer preference, and McDonald's is one of the best at listening to their customers. Having select items pop up on the menu for limited times, keeps customers coming during those special occasions, and earlier this year the food chain added some new items to expand its menu and give customers more variety by adding lemonade as a drink option and adding McCrispy strips to the menu. Evolving the menu is key to success these days, and McDonald's does it as well as anyone.
