in an emailed statement that “it is highly inaccurate to suggest that McDonald’s limits opportunities for Black franchisees to operate in certain communities. McDonald’s does not place franchisees into franchises; while McDonald’s may recommend locations, franchisees ultimately select the locations they wish to purchase.”

McDonald’s countered that it has sold high-performing company-owned restaurants in various communities to Black franchisees and does not evaluate them differently or offer Black franchisees different financial terms.
The case is the latest in a string of racial discrimination complaints against the fast-food company. Two high ranking Black executivesalleging that they suffered “systematic but covert” racial discrimination at the chain, which worsened under the leadership of former chief executive Steve Easterbrook and his eventual successor Christopher Kempczinski.
