The Akihabara Showadori branch McDonald’s will be permanently closing at 6 p.m. on January 31.
But what’s unusual is the sign that went up just a few doors down on the same block……where there’s a Burger King.
That’s really sweet of Burger King, isn’t it?
At the very least, the Burger King poster’s offer to give anyone with a McDonald’s Akihabara Showadori customer receipt a free cup of coffee between not and February 6 seems to be OK to take at face value.
And while a bit of patting themselves on the back is understandable, McDonald’s would probably like Burger King, and burger fans, to remember that there are still three other McDonald’s branches in the Akihabara vicinity.
