Over the years, I’ve heard hundreds (if not thousands) of people state they like Burger King hamburgs but don’t like their fries. They further state their desire for Burger King hamburgers with McDonalds fries. However, your average person is not going to travel to both restaurants and wait for each item as the other gets cold. This is where my ingenious idea comes to play. I will reconstruct my kitchen room & dining room into restaurant fully equipped with tables, stools & chairs. I’m going to hire 2 teenagers that will travel to McDonalds for fries & Burger King for Burgers every half hour. This brings the 2 products to the customer – nicely, quickly & hot!!!! What I need at this point is information where to buy the large McDonald and Burger King signs they have outside their restaurants to put outside my house. Where do I get them?

You'd have to talk to both companies and buy into the franchise, however they are not going to like the idea of going to bed with the competition.

Hire those teenagers, wait until both restaurants are closed (or if you live in an area where they're open all night, until they're 'slow') and have them just pull down the existing signs. That way you don't have to spend all your hard-earned money on silly signs! And each company should be more than happy to let you have them, since you're guaranteeing them business, right? Yeah right.

AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!! No offense, but about the kitchen idea...R U STONED The corps won't go for your idea of cross-consumership. Besides, the fees you would have to pay to the corporations would be 5mil a year, plus, they only build on land they own. I don't see them agreeing on a land partnership, you would have to buy the building (s) from them, and if they decide they don't like the idea, they can have you evicted of of their property, and at the same time, if you haven't paid the building (s) off, they can file (jointly or independently) a seize and sell order for everything you as a person and a former franchizee own. Does it still sound like a good idea?

Sure not a bad idea, the signs can be manufactured locally if you dont get the franchise for both of them, which you most certainly wont, but what you will get is two lovely lawsuits to defend, one from Burgerking and the other one from Mcdonalds.

McDonald's fries used to be better tasting because they used lard to fry them. BK burgers are better because they are flame broiled.
McDonald's doesn't use lard anymore.
There is no way it H E double hockey sticks that either of those monoliths are going to let you put them together.
Why not start a restaurant that flame-broils, and gives customers the choice between lard-cooked fries and veg. oil cooked fries? You could call the lard ones "traditional" instead of "lard" fries :)

Check with a company in WI called Everbright Signs for the signs. Most people a right about getting permission to use the signs. But as far as reselling thier product in whatever manner you see fit thats up to you and your lawyer. Just remember if they get ecoli or find a finger in the fries its on you now.

Go tell McDonald and Burger King your idea. They have the signs so ask to buy it from them.
And I suggest you get a good lawyer, I'm guessing they won't be too happy with your idea..

the problem with this idea is that burger king and mcdonalds are from two diffrent main companies.
i used to work at kfc and i know that they are owned by yum brands inc.
they also own pizza hut, a&w, and a mess of others. that is why you see two different restaraunts together. they are technically owned by the same company.

I doubt if McDonalds and Burger King will let you combine franchises.
