Overview

• A Franconia, Virginia McDonald’s has temporarily banned customers under 21 from dining in on weekdays due to repeated incidents of student violence.
• The restriction follows reports of disruptive behavior, including brawls and vandalism, involving students from Thomas Edison High School.
• Customers over 21 must ring a doorbell and be escorted inside, while adult chaperones may bring up to four minors.
• The policy was created collaboratively with local school officials and law enforcement to ensure safety for staff and patrons.
• This measure mirrors a similar restriction enacted at a Brooklyn McDonald’s earlier this year after violent incidents involving teens.
