The article I originally read was years ago and was about Burger King, but I'd imagine the same idea holds. You'd buy up land that wasn't worth much yet, build a restaurant on it in the meantime, and 40 years later it's way more valuable. There's also a nice little synergy that building fast food causes more surrounding to retail to be built, increasing your land value faster.
