• To demonstrate how fast-food restaurants tend to clutter around the same locations, I have included some spacial comparison maps, which clearly identify this point.
• Since McDonald's is the restaurant chain I am concentrating on, I have done the following analysis of Subway, Burger King, and Wendy's in relation to McDonald's locations.
• In the following maps, McDonald's locations will always be displayed in a Purple colour, with a contrasting colour showing the competing restaurants.
• In the following examples, the catchment areas of McDonald's restaurants is 1 km, where as the catchment areas for the competing restaurants are only 250 meters. I have done this merely for ease of comparison and am in no way indicating that patrons are only willing to travel 250 meters to get to these restaurant.
