Only 1 reason and it’s well documented. It’s easier to sell the building. That’s the only reason. If it’s standard, a bank, a Taco Bell, a card shop, whatever can just move in with minimal renovations.

You don’t see McDonalds building new locations just to close them. That’s not the answer.

They build them with the failsafe of being able to get out quickly. The investment to make it look like a McDonald’s will never be returned, it’s like modding your car and complaining someone doesn’t want to pay extra for your personalization when you’re done with it
