'City in crisis': McDonald's CEO calls out Chicago's crime problem
The CEO of McDonald’s told business leaders in Chicago that tough economic conditions including rising crime have made it more difficult to attract employees and suggested the city does not have an adequate plan in place to address the issues and prevent companies like his from joining the growing list of companies that have fled the Windy City.
Area Four detectives are investigating.
The robbery comes after McDonald's CEO and President and CEO Chris Kempczinski said last month that Chicago crime is hurting recruitment and scaring employees.
Kempczinski said the city does not have an adequate plan in place to address the issues and prevent companies like his from joining the growing list of companies that have fled the Windy City. The CEO says Chicago is a "city in crisis."
