While we all know that it’s pretty hard to travel anywhere without finding a McDonald’s, it’s astounding how many there really are. In the United States alone there are nearly 14,000. How do I know? Thanks to fastfoodmaps.com.
Somebody out there took the time to create a Google Maps overlay that shows the locations of every major fast food restaurant in the United States. It’s great if you’re traveling and want to know what’s going to be near your hotel that’s quick and easy to eat. If not, it’s just downright creepy and a great indicator of where the next great labour uprising might start.
Nothing similar to this for Canada that I can find. Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

BAD THING. The last thing North American’s need is a tool to make finding Fast Food joints easier. Why not one to find farmer’s markets?
I can only wish I had a mcdonalds near me. They unionized and then 2 weeks later there were for sale signs everywhere. Its been 15 years since I’ve had a mcdonalds within a 25 minute driving radius
Years ago, Tim Hortons used to have paper placemats that were maps of Canada. On it it showed the location of every Timmy’s along the TCH.
