The Votes Are In! Here’s the Fast Food Restaurant Quincy Wants Next

The Votes Are In! Here’s the Fast Food Restaurant Quincy Wants Next

Thinkstock

Last week, we asked our listeners/readers/Facebookers what fast food chain should come to Quincy next. I don’t know why we did that. I guess I was really hungry at the time. Anyway, the results are in!

More than 3,000 votes were cast in this incredibly unscientific poll, but as a few of you guys opted to game the system and vote more than once (SHAME ON YOU!), I had to dig a little deeper. So to the guy who voted “White Castle” 217 times, we thank you for your slider enthusiasm—but unfortunately it was an immense waste of time.

Once all the duplicates were tossed, we ended up with just over 1,700 votes. I’ve listed the top ten results below.

So take note, aspiring franchisees. The people of Quincy have spoken. Here’s what we want:

    Although you can buy the famous sliders frozen at most of the local grocery stores. But it's definitely not the same.

    Although they just announced that they are opening a location in Normal (183 miles away) and will be looking at expanding further south. Proposed locations include Champaign and Springfield. Maybe Quincy one day?
