Fortunately for McDonalds, they are a big enough corporate themselves which enabled them to make this deal with Boston Market, whereas the other indirect competitors (local sub shops, Chinese restaurants, etc.) were not in a financial position to do so. So far, McDonalds has done a great job with the company and Boston Market stores are still functional and selling rotisserie chicken today.

Further, number-three Wendy’s sales had spiked 11 percent to $7.4 billion, putting it in a position to overtake BK.

It costs me about couple hundred dollars for the doctor visiting and my medications. It was the most expensive Big Mac I have ever had.
