Workers at McDonald's corporate offices are hesitant to return to the company's Chicago headquarters over concerns that crime in the area is soaring, the fast food giant's CEO said this week.
"The truth is, it's more difficult today for me to convince a promising McDonald's executive to relocate to Chicago from one of our other offices than it was just a few years ago," Kempczinski said."It's more difficult for me to recruit a new employee to McDonald's, to join us in Chicago, than it was in the past.""Everywhere I go, I'm confronted by the same question. 'What's going on in Chicago?'" Mr. Kempczinski said.
Despite his safety concerns, Kempczinski said the company, which contributes $2 billion annually to Chicago's economy, is committed to remaining in Chicago, and announced that it is creating a new innovation center dedicated to research and development next to its headquarters.
