Franklin McDonald’s Goes Viral For “Sad” Play Place

The new McDonald’s in Franklin is going viral on social media after a customer took a picture of their “play place.”

What was once the most magical place you could eat lunch, full of ball pits and climbing nets is now 2 screens and 2 chairs in the corner of an empty room. A lot of people are commenting things like “I’m so glad I got to grow up in the 90s.” Details HERE

This is so heart breaking. I’m at a new McDonalds in Franklin, TN and look at their “play place” for children. Two screens/two chairs. 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/j2gxrJZklq
