MCDONALD'S U.S.A vs MCDONALD'S JAMAICA The clash of the fast-food titans. 

Thanks for watching, please share.

Excellent video and one everyone home should watch.

Before I knew about McDonald's International, I knew about our Jamaican McDonald. It was out of grudge that they filed the lawsuit. KMT!!

I remember this very well. I used to patronize the local McDonalds occasionally because their food was great and reasonably priced. I also remember how much publicity and attention the case received in Jamaica and how much the finding in favor of the Jamaican company was welcomed by Jamaicans. The feeling was very much 'dem coulda bright!'. The US company, in my view, adopted the wrong approach in choosing to be confrontational and got their just deserts. There was no need for them to bring the case in the first place, I think. Despite the same name nobody was ever going to be in any doubt as to which company was which, so it was a wasted, expensive, divisive, self-defeating effort by a company that was looking to establish itself in Jamaica and this case, I think, was one of the factors that led to the downfall of the US company in Jamaica. Nobody likes a bully.

Great Job Alex❗️ I knew of the case but not the outcome. Very interesting!!👍

Please, if you can find the information (maybe The Wayback Machine website or olderGleaner pages), could you do a piece on the disappearance of King Burger and Krazy Jim?

Never heard about the case. Thank you very much for the enlightenment 🙏

McDonald's had a cheek though! The Jamaican company was operating before they step foot in Jamaica. So now they expected the Jamaican one to rool over and curl up and die for them! What a cheek! The audacity! Glad they ended up pulling out. The cheek of it😮!

Thank you very much. I enjoyed many tasty meals at the original McDonald's on Cargill Avenue. Please continue the good work.

My father used to take me to that Jamaican McDonald's. He used to take the famaily to that little theater on the same street to see plays then going there after.

I remember visiting the mcdonald's in mobay when I would visit Jamaica during summer holidays. Glad they are gone and caa stand a chance in Jamaica now.

That place was shut down for years and after mcdonalds usa was coming here Chang open back his resturant and said him run things

Curried goat. Yum. From McDonald's, this is a business owner worth supporting. Think outside of the box. No pun intended.

I wondering if the jamaica mcdonalds is what became Island Grill after a while...i always ask

🇺🇸 🇯🇲

Didn’t know this 🙏❤️👍

While in Jamaica I visit mackdonald on. Cargill. Avenue Severral times.

When I use to go to Arden High School I would sometimes stop there to get lunch something to take to school to eat or sometimes after school I didn’t know anything about American McDonald at all only when I came to America plus if anyone remember there was a knife and fork on the building plus the colour of the building was brown don’t know how it looks now

Have you done king burger yet?

I remember the original McDonald's in one of the plazas on Constant Spring Rd but I wasn't aware of this legal battle. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

I think the ruling make good sense 😊u can come Pete with others then you don't be long in the market we all have to laern to come Pete one ❤

How u mean dem right firstly Chiney man place did spell Macdonalds and when him find out them coming here him changw the name to McDonalds

Yes, I heard about this before and I’m glad that they stand their ground. We need to stop buying local instead of from these big companies you’re in our country.

Right now him change the name to Tastees

🇯🇲🇯🇲 How comes mi jus a ear bout this ya? Wey mi ben deh? Mussa when mi fall off the earth this happen. Why we shouldn’t have a local BIG MC restaurant? So many BIG MC live in JAM ROCK. Like for example Mc Kenzie, Mc Farlene, Mc Callum, Mc Beth, Mc Koy, Mc Authur etc. All a dem MC yah are so terrific. The Mac/Mc names are Panasonic You, foreign BIG MC, you’re so generic. We here strive on being organic. Yuh think we were going to panic? Back to the U S with your bulling antic. Law over money, jurisprudence is basic. Laws are there to serve the public, Despite your affiliation or demographic. Just like our sweet reggae music. Words to all, even to the eccentric..

So glad you addressed this; I was unaware of the outcome. The nerve and arrogance of these American companies to think that locals must clear the way and bow down to them! Kraft Foods put their powdered drink Tang up against D&G's Ting iin the courts n the 1990s and failed too. And that was in the USA! --Æ.

used to sell burgers just cook food
