“We will deny access to any individual who we consider a risk to maintaining a safe environment for our guests,” it continued.

McDonald’s confirmed the notice to Fox News Digital.
Mike Darula, local owner and operator of the franchise, told Fox News Digital in a statement that the venue has “proudly been part of the Uptown community for more than 30 years.”

“The introduction of any new business in the city, especially one that pays attention to the fact that we have spent 24 years growing the live culture economy in the city of Milwaukee, says to me that we’ve done our job.”
