Stuart Handler Department of Real Estate Students Are Lovin’ It

Chris Smitherman, National Real Estate Manager for McDonald’s, visited UIC to speak with students in the Stuart Handler Department of Real Estate. Chris spoke about McDonald’s real estate business, how they find the best locations for new restaurants, and their lease agreements with franchisees. He also spoke about how he grew into a real estate career after moving from a different area within the company and the skills he believes will be beneficial for students. The students were incredibly engaged with Chris, asking pointed questions about both McDonald’s real estate business and Chris’s own career.
