The Farthest You would Ever Have to Drive To Get To McDonald's in the US

If you can't find the next McDonald's, I'll find the next McDonald's. But it's vital to be with people who with looking for 'em, because they do exist. They are created.

If you live in the United States (lower 48) the farthest you would ever have to drive to sate a Big Mac attack is 145 miles (only 107 if you can fly)! It is that far in only the most dire of locations i.e. in the middle of absolutely nowhere, where no one lives anyway.

Here is visualization of McDonald's locations in the lower 48:

Note: I guess that is how they manage to sell billions of burgers.

Something else I learned:There are 10 McDonald's within 20 miles of my home. McDonald's Locator if you want to see how many are near you.

  1. There are 25 within 35 miles of my house. How gross is that? Actually, there are 2 within walking distance.
