Connecticut McDonald’s Shades Its New Neighbor

NBC Connecticut reports:

It appears a local McDonald’s has thrown down the gauntlet to its new fast-food neighbor. A Chick-fil-A is moving in next to the Glastonbury McDonald’s. While the chicken chain does not open until July 26, to the casual observer it appears McDonald’s may already be taking a dig at their values. The sign under the golden arches reads “We Welcome Everyone.”

The general manager of the Glastonbury McDonald’s told NBC Connecticut off camera that the sign was simply a welcome message. “It just means that everyone is welcome, young and old, everyone,” she said. She said the sign was not meant as a political statement. Still, the message raised some eyebrows with those passing through.
