McDonalds is globally recognized as a major brand, and recent developments have led many to suspect that they might be aware of more than they reveal, especially given their decision to establish a restaurant in a peculiar spot.
No matter where you are, chances are there’s a McDonalds restaurant just a short drive away.
As a titan in the fast-food sector, the company typically selects prime locations for their establishments.
However, the branch located at 8075 Avenue Marcel-Villeneuve in Saint-François, Laval, Quebec, attracted attention following its launch last year.
The venue appeared to be in an isolated area and reportedly lacked electricity, operating on a generator at its inception, according to a TikTok that went viral.
“Officially open for business. Our staff awaits you at our new restaurant at 8075 Marcel-Villeneuve, Laval,” the restaurant announced on Facebook.
McDonalds’ Jéremy Lévy expressed: “I am delighted to be involved with the community of Saint-François on the occasion of this opening. Growing up with a father who is also a McDonald’s franchisee, I have had the opportunity to see him actively involved in the communities in which he operates his restaurants. Today, I am very excited to follow in his footsteps and get involved in the same way.”
The new restaurant gained viral attention a week after its opening, thanks to a TikTok video posted by @thumbs.up.canuck.
The TikToker noticed the emergence of the new McDonald’s in his vicinity. However, instead of eagerly visiting the outlet for a meal, he found himself perplexed.
The primary confusion stemmed from the restaurant’s location and its apparent absence of electricity.
As he filmed the establishment from his vehicle, he remarked: “It’s literally in the middle of farm field. It’s surrounded by farm, and there’s not even electricity yet. They’re running the damn place on a generator! That’s crazy!”
With over 37,000 views on TikTok, the video sparked numerous conspiracy theories.
Some even speculated that McDonald’s Canada Corporate offices might possess insights unknown to the public.
One user commented, “Then you know what’s coming they wouldn’t put it there for nothing.”
Another added, “In two years it will be surrounded by houses strategically planned.”
A third observed, “All the surrounding farms are about to be purchased and sold to developers.”
Some commenters suggest the area is on the brink of development, with McDonald’s being the pioneer in this new community.
