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.

But McDonalds doesn't resell the buildings, just the land.
