How do we say: The McDonald's products are good, but when there are more than one McDonald's? Where do we put the " ' " ?

McDonald's is the name of a company, and cannot be altered for grammatical purposes. Therefore, the sentence must be altered to accommodate the proper noun. If you feel that you need to construct a sentence with a plural McDonald's, try one of these:
The products at McDonald's restaurants are good. (my choice)
McDonald's restaurants' products are good. (more awkward, but grammatical)
The products at McDonald's restaurants are good. (my choice)
McDonald's restaurants' products are good. (more awkward, but grammatical)
