List of countries with McDonald's restaurants

This is a list of countries with McDonald's restaurants. McDonald's is the largest chain of fast-food restaurants in the world,[1] with more than 36,000 outlets worldwide.[2] The majority of McDonald's outlets outside of the United States are franchises.

Countries with current and former McDonald's locations

The biggest temporary McDonald's restaurant in the world was opened during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which had 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft).[3][4][5][6] The biggest still standing is the World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's. The northernmost McDonald's restaurant in the world is located in Rovaniemi, Finland (after the restaurant in Murmansk, Russia, was closed in 2022),[7] and the southernmost in the world is located in Invercargill, New Zealand.[8]

The list of countries follows the company's own calculation and contains several non-sovereign territories.

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, 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.[9]

McDonald's attempted to re-enter the Iranian market in 1994, but this failed due to a hostile anti-American fundamentalist attack on the building which was under construction where the planned franchise would be opened. McDonald's does not plan on opening any restaurants in Iran at this time.

2 Barbados[65] August 25, 1989 December 13, 1990 Closed due to extremely poor sales.
3 Bermuda[66] (territory of United Kingdom) November 10, 1985 March 9, 1995 Closed 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.
4 Bolivia November 21, 1997 November 30, 2002 Closed due to poor sales and high prices. McDonald's has since attempted reenter the Bolivian market, but with little success.
5 Jamaica[67] April 15, 1995 October 14, 2005 Closed due to governmental problems and declining sales.
6 Montenegro
(part of Serbia and Montenegro at the time)		 June 1, 2004 2007 A seasonal McDonald's restaurant was opened in Budva, but was later closed due to the lack of a permanent location.

8 North Macedonia

9 San Marino July 6, 1999 July 6, 2019 The 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.

It was the first outlet in the Soviet Union itself, which then disintegrated 23 months 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.[68] 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.[69][70] It is expected McDonald's will have an option to reacquire the 850 restaurants in 15 years.[71]
11 Belarus December 10, 1996 November 27, 2022 In 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!".[72][73][74] 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".[75] On April 18, 2023, the restaurant chain was renamed "Mak.by".[76][77][78]
12 Bosnia and Herzegovina July 20, 2011 December 31, 2022 Closed "until further notice" due to McDonald's having its license to operating in the country taken away.[79]
13 Kazakhstan March 8, 2016 January 5, 2023 Closed due to supply restrictions that buying burger patties from Russia was prohibited due to Russian invasion of Ukraine.[80] 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.[81] On 16 August 2023 this brand name was dropped and each of the restaurants in the country received it's 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).[82]
