McDonald’s locks doors to keep out individuals who present ‘a risk’ in crime-ridden Minneapolis area

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A viral post featuring a notice from a local McDonald’s restaurant is drawing new attention to concerns about rising crime in Uptown Minneapolis.

Attached to a door, the sign reads: “Attention guests, effective Friday, December 5th, our dining room doors will be locked and attended [to] during our normal business hours of 5am-10pm to ensure a safe environment.”

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

RESTAURANT BILL WOULD BAN PLASTIC UTENSILS AND CONDIMENT PACKETS FROM ON-SITE DINING IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES

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.”

“At our Uptown restaurant, we’ve made some updates to our security measures to help ensure a safe and welcoming environment for both our crew and customers,” he added.

The restaurant has faced ongoing issues with trespassing.

It previously tried community-based solutions before ultimately deciding to lock its dining room doors.
