McDonalds are the world’s largest landlord. They are in the business of real estate.

You as a franchisee will be renting the location from them.

Nope.

They will give you a choice of 3-5 spots, all of which are probably owned by them. This is to avoid you opening your restaurant too close to another McDonalds.

They will train the staff. But you will be paying them.

McDonalds also expect you to buy raw materials from them, and also pay them a franchisee fee every year.

On top of that, you are paying rent to McDonalds or to a shipping mall. Either way, you are looking at RM50000-100000 in rent per month.

Mid valley Lower Ground rental for a standard size lot is around RM100k per month, if I am not wrong.

Renovations is also via McDonalds approval and the kitchen equipment MUST come from McDonalds. This will be an additional RM300-500k depending on the size of the lot.

Then, there is the initial franchising fee of a few million to kickstart your first restaurant. You can find out more by writing to McDonalds.

No problem, buddy. Anytime.

Here’s an article about McDonalds real estate business. There are a bunch of them articles on the web on this too so it’s not really a secret anymore.

And here’s the actual costs. RM5 million seed money to start (must be own money and borrowed money).

You are also paying rental of 18% - 20% of your monthly sales to McDonalds.

Go ask around bro. Watatime on Ground floor is RM100k a month.

I am not sure of the agreement but probably they are the master franchisee in Malaysia and reports directly to McDonalds USA.

I know of a friend who rents a lot in mid valley. The rental doubles on each floor. It starts at RM10k at the top. Second floor starts at 20k. First floor is around 40k. And watatime on the ground floor is RM80k or so. The lower ground levels are RM100k and above for standard lots.

The kiosks on lower ground is RM5-10k per month.

Let’s make a bet. Ready to run naked or not?

You want to join that idiot to pile on me without knowing anything about mall rentals, then maybe you deserve to run naked.

See my reply above. Want to make a bet. Can have a group naked run.

That’s about right for ground floor lots. It doubles as the floor gets lower.

Lol. Ok bro. Have a good day. Please continue to shit post.

No balls to run naked. Just say so.

I am there for 3 + 2 years.

Lol. Then take my bet and we can go to the management on Monday. Or better yet, I can PM them for a quote specially for you once you take the bet.

All shit posting one. No balls to take up bet. Just want to let off steam on LYN only.

Mid Valley would charge depending on your type of business. For F&B business, you are paying more since you are using their pipe in gas and utilities. They also have special inspections work done before you open after renovations to make sure that there is no gas leaks.

Quit his dupe account and use his main account. That kind of bet is of no risk to him, bro.

Better the loser runs naked in Mid Valley.

So you are saying that a F&B outlet in lower ground floor Mid Valley Megamall is lower than 100k a month? Is that what you are betting?

I am not talking about MCO discounts. I am talking about the agreement that you sign with MV management when you agree to rent that lot.

Lol. He will just quit his dupe account and use his main account instead.

I am not interested in drama. Am more interested in sharing information with you guys.

No bro. The bet is on F&B outlet in LG Mid Valley costs less than 100k according to you.

I say it costs around RM100k.


Please don’t Chicken out.

Run naked Ah?

I realize that you have been dying for some attention from me for the longest time. I have been ignoring you and your stupid comments but you still want to trash talk.

I guess you love me too much until you want to stalk me.

It was a typo. I meant to say 80k. But typed too fast and say 100k.

So you want to bet on that? Do you really need to be that petty to bet on a typo?

Please help contribute to the discussion on hand instead of try to troll me on every chance you get. I know you have a certain vendetta against me with the way you try to troll me on every post I participate in. But this is a civilized forum and I won’t allow myself to be dragged down to your level.

So, I hope you have a great weekend and God bless. I don’t hate you but I find your constant trolling quite irritating.

But since we are all God’s children, I forgive you.
