List of countries with McDonald's restaurants explained

This is a list of countries with McDonald's restaurants. McDonald's is the largest chain of fast-food restaurants in the world,[1] [2] with more than 40,000 outlets worldwide.[3] The majority of McDonald's outlets outside of the United States are franchises.

The biggest temporary McDonald's restaurant in the world was opened during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which was 3000m2 by area.[4] [5] [6] [7] The biggest still standing is the World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's. The northernmost McDonald's restaurant in the world is located in Tromsø, Norway (previously held by Rovaniemi, Finland after the restaurant in Murmansk, Russia, was closed in 2022),[8] and the southernmost in the world is located in Invercargill, New Zealand.[9]

The list of countries follows the company's own calculation and contains several non-sovereign territories. Today or as of 2024, there are over 15,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States, over 5,000 in Japan, over 4,500 in mainland China, over 2,200 in France, over 1,800 in Brazil, over 1,600 in Canada, over 1,500 in Germany, over 1,400 in the United Kingdom, over 1,100 in Australia, over 780 in Mexico and over 740 in the Philippines. McDonald's ceased to be operational in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan in previous years.

History

The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in 1940 by Dick and Mac McDonald. However, on 15 April 1955, Ray Kroc launched the first McDonald's in Des Plaines, Illinois,[10] featuring a ten-item menu built around a 15-cent hamburger.

Since that time, McDonald's has operated more than 40,000 restaurants worldwide, which has increased over 16 years.[11]

Former locations

Country/territoryDate of first storeDate of closureReason for closure
1BarbadosAugust 25, 1989December 13, 1990Closed due to extremely poor sales.[51]
2Bermuda November 10, 1985March 9, 1995Closed after the passage of a government law banning franchised restaurants in the territory. The McDonald's restaurant was located on a US Naval Air Station and was thus exempt from the law. When the base closed in 1995, the restaurant was required to do likewise.[52]
3BoliviaNovember 21, 1997November 30, 2002Closed due to poor sales and high prices. McDonald's has since attempted to reenter the Bolivian market, but with little success.
4JamaicaApril 15, 1995October 14, 2005Closed due to governmental problems and declining sales.[53]
5Montenegro
June 1, 20042007A seasonal McDonald's restaurant was opened in Budva but was later closed due to the lack of a permanent location.[54]
6IcelandSeptember 9, 1993October 31, 2009Closed due to the 2008–2011 Icelandic financial crisis. All former McDonald's restaurants were renamed locally as Metro, which served the same menu as McDonald's along with domestic products.[55]
7North Macedonia
September 6, 1997May 14, 2013Closed due to a dispute in contract and contractual obligations with the franchise owner Sveto Janevski. McDonald's has since attempted to reenter the Macedonian market, with little success.[56]
8San MarinoJuly 6, 1999July 6, 2019The one and only Sammarinese McDonald's restaurant was located in Borgo Maggiore. It ceased operations on July 6, 2019, 20 years after its opening, due to its close proximity to restaurants in nearby Italian communities, which resulted in a decline of sales.
9Russia (details)
January 31, 1990May 16, 2022First restaurant was opened in Pushkin Square, Moscow in 1990. It was the first outlet in the Soviet Union itself, which then dissolved in December 1991 after its opening. In March 2022, McDonald's suspended all operations in Russia due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. McDonald's later chose to permanently shut down all McDonald's operations in Russia, citing geopolitical concern. Before its closure, McDonald's had opened 850 restaurants in Russia.[57] The brand was relaunched on June 12, 2022, as Vkusno i tochka (Вкусно и точка, "Tasty and that's it") by local franchisee Alexander Govor, who acquired the operations in May from McDonald's. While the menu and equipment remains the same, most of the trademarks were dropped.[58] [59] It is expected McDonald's will have an option to reacquire the 850 restaurants in 15 years.[60]
10BelarusDecember 10, 1996November 27, 2022In November 2022, it was announced that McDonald's would be suspending operations in Belarus, and did so on November 27, and claimed the Russian fast food chain Vkusno i tochka (Вкусно и точка, Tasty and that's it) would take its place. Instead, the restaurants began operating under the sign, "We are open!".[61] [62] [63] In early April 2023, KSB Victory Restaurants (operators of McDonald's in Belarus) filed an application for registration of the name and trademark "Mak.by".[64] On April 18, 2023, the restaurant chain was renamed "Mak.by".[65] [66] [67]
11Bosnia and HerzegovinaJuly 20, 2011December 31, 2022Closed "until further notice" due to McDonald's having its license to operating in the country taken away.[68]
12KazakhstanMarch 8, 2016January 5, 2023Suspended due to supply restrictions that buying burger patties from Russia was prohibited due to Russian invasion of Ukraine.[69] On 23 January 2023 the local owner of the franchise, Food Solutions KZ, reopened the restaurants under the brand "MyOtkryty" (МыОткрыты, WeAreOpen) with the same menu under slightly altered names.[70] On 16 August 2023 this brand name was dropped and each of the restaurants in the country received its own name following the next pattern: "I'm" followed by any Kazakh or Russian first name, e.g. "Men Aidanamin" (Мен Айданамын, I'm Aidana).[71] On 23 November of the same year the brand was renamed again as "I'm" written in English.[72]
