Black McDonald's franchisees say they were forced to close or sell more than 200 McDonald's locations due to "systematic and covert racial discrimination."52 Black former McDonald's franchisees are suing the fast-food giant, seeking more than $1 billion in damages.
Franchisees said in the complaint they faced "systematic and covert racial discrimination," as the company denied them the same opportunities as their white counterparts. McDonald's has to approve all new franchisees and, according to the lawsuit, "systematically steered" Black franchisees to buy locations in Black neighborhoods.
"But for Plaintiffs' race, McDonald's would have offered Plaintiffs profitable restaurant locations, opportunities for growth and expansion, on equal terms as White franchisees, rather than forcing them out after decades of sweat and tears dedicated to the franchise," the complaint reads. Why McDonald's Black franchisees face inequalities
"These differences are statistically significant and are the result of Defendants' racial bias and barriers within the McDonald's franchise system," the complaint states.
Time to get this franchise going, mr. McDowell was very successful.
Whoa so they offered black franchisees older less desirable stores with higher insurance and less likely to own newer locations. I don’t fuck with Mc Donald’s anyway. Y’all seen what former employees say about them on tik tok? Check for yourself
