A McDonald's outlet in Canada, considered to be the worst in the world by many, is closing its doors after almost 40 years. As per a report in the Daily Star, the restaurant on Rideau Street in Ottawa, Canada, is making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Over the years, there have been reports of racoon fights, brawls and violent outbursts occurring on sight. Hence, the franchise decided not to renew the lease on the property. They will officially close their doors in April 2023, the report added.
The McDonald's brunch was opened in 1985 and went viral in 2013 when a person took a baby racoon out of his shirt during a brawl. You heard us. The Mirror reports that the McDonald's restaurant was also responsible for over 800 police callouts in a year, including a complaint about the racoon fight.

Since then, the restaurant decided to reduce their working hours from 24 hours to 6 am to 10 pm, that too just for takeaways.
