McDonald’s to Open Largest Restaurant for 2012 London Olympics

As a sponsor of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, fast-food giant McDonald’s is planning on opening its largest location in the world in Stratford, London, just minutes away from all the action.

This super-sized McDonald’s is expected to be a 2 story high, 32,000 square foot building with the ability to seat 1,500 people. If we bust out the McCalculator and do some McMath & McStatistics, then they’re looking to serve 1.5 million people during those 29 days if they expect 1 of every 5 meals to be eaten here. The restaurant staff is also planning to recruit 2,000 workers from its top franchises to work at this location.

However, not everyone is excited about this new restaurant. Although McDonald’s has been an Official Sponsor of the Olympic Games since 1976, a lot of criticism is said to revolve around fast-food choices and a healthy lifestyle for young people.

With their Happy Meals to automatically include apple slices over fries, should we have to worry about too many unhealthy choices at the Olympic site? Let us know what you think!
