Fast food franchisees collected more than $1 billion in federal PPP aid earmarked for small businesses, analysis finds

of the funding went to restaurants. Chain restaurants became eligible for PPP loans through a loophole lobbied for by the National Restaurant Association: they were eligible as long as fewer than 500 people were employed at any one location.

"As small business owners, the nearly 2,000 independent franchisees who own and operate McDonald's restaurants across the country have been proud to continue to serve communities, first responders, and frontline workers while providing meaningful employment to more than 800,000 individuals during this incredibly challenging time," McDonald's USA told Business Insider in an emailed statement.
