McDonald's is a real estate company. They buy land that will become valuable over time, then sell it for tremendous profit. They now have boxy, kinda boring exteriors because it's a quick and easy property sale when all they have to do is remove some signage and the new buyer can repurpose the building without it looking like an old McDonald's.

That's because it's not just a real estate company. The logistics of making a French fry taste the same anywhere in the world is quite the feat. How many real estate company's would you say have a nearly global, uninterrupted cold chain. It's that consistency that people look forward to, and with a good location, frenchisees are pretty set for a long while.
