McDonald's to close 200 U.S. restaurants. Here's where some of the closures are expected
McDonald's is permanently closing 200 of its 14,000 U.S. locations this year with "low-volume restaurants" in Walmart stores making up over half of the closures.
During its quarterly earnings call Tuesday, the fast food giant said the closings were previously planned for future years but are being accelerated. Officials also shared the continued impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on sales globally.
"Within a matter of weeks, the McDonald's system made operational modifications across 30,000 restaurants, while closing and then reopening another 9,000 restaurants," CEO Chris Kempczinski said during Tuesday's earnings call. "We introduced new safety procedures in all our restaurants, modified our menus, and developed new contactless ways to serve our customers."
Starting Saturday, Aug. 1, McDonald's will require customers to wear masks or face coverings when entering restaurants nationwide, a move the chain announced last week.
