But one McDonald's franchise in St. Joseph, Mo., might pull down that national average by offering all-you-can-eat fries when it opens in July. This development is part of a "McDonald's of the future" concept that owner Chris Habiger is exploring, according to [ABC News 7 in Missouri](http://abc7ny.com/food/mcdonalds-restaurant-trying-out-all-you-can-eat-fries/1296082/)*.* Other McDonald's test concepts like earth-tone decor, a big-kids play area, and kiosk-ordering have gone mostly ignored by the masses. But unlimited french fries, like the nationwide [launch of all-day breakfast](https://money.com/mcdonalds-all-day-breakfast/) before it, just might be an American dream come true, if Twitter excitement is any metric. "What a city!" [one person Tweeted](https://twitter.com/notcodyk/status/722083150097170432). "Sounds like a road trip to this new McDonald's in Missouri is in my future," [said another](https://twitter.com/megabux11/status/722083561818427392). To others, this is a nightmare. "They really tryna kill people," a person named "Papi" [tweeted](https://twitter.com/hiiiSHAD/status/722077357834702848). Other users expressed concern about obesity. ***Read next:* This Is What the New McDonald’s Dollar Menu Could Look Like** Although the kiosk ordering hasn't received much attention, it's an interesting development given that machine-replacement of service staff has been a [common discussion in the news recently](http://www.eater.com/2015/12/30/10688870/beijing-restaurant-no-servers-order-phone-app). However, ABC News 7 reports that 85 employees will still be hired for the new Missouri McDonald's. Presumably, all will be expected to be experts in preparing french fries. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-all-you-can-eat-french-fries/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Restaurants", "item": "https://money.com/restaurants/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "McDonald's Franchise Is Bringing All-You-Can-Eat French Fries to the Menu" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-all-you-can-eat-french-fries/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-all-you-can-eat-french-fries/", "name": "McDonald's Franchise Is Bringing All-You-Can-Eat French Fries to the Menu", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-04-18T16:10:47.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-all-you-can-eat-french-fries/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/mcdonalds-all-you-can-eat-french-fries/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-05-16T11:05:29.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "McDonald's Franchise Is Bringing All-You-Can-Eat French Fries to the Menu", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/04/gettyimages-506679936.jpg", "width": 5113, "height": 3652, "caption": "McDonald's Japan To Offer Chocolate Topped 'McChoco Potato'" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ethan Wolff-Mann", "url": "https://money.com/author/ethan-wolff-mann/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/ethan-wolff-mann/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/ewolffmann" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-04-18T16:10:47.000Z", "description": "A McDonald's restaurant in Missouri is adding all-you-can-eat french fries as an option on the menu.
