I think the bubble is starting to burst in the UK they aren't what they were. Schools have been teaching the values of healthy food and most people I know wouldn't go near one, opting instead for sandwiches from local bakers and at least the £ stays local. Having said that I believe they have 10 years or so before it becomes untenable.

This is quite literally what they were saying about McDonalds ten years ago.

Look up McDonalds Next.

If McDonalds never sold another burger tomorrow, they still have tens of billions of pounds worth of property in prime locations around the planet

They have enough reserves to ride out changes in the market, and keep re-inventing themselves enough to lure in the next generation of fast food addicts
