Have you ever thought of a country without McDonald's? They exist and I will prove it!

Founded in 1940, McDonald's is an American food company. fast food which began as a single restaurant operated by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Over time, the restaurant evolved into a hamburger chain and became a successful franchise.

Currently, McDonald's is not only one of the largest fast food chains in the world, but also one of the most iconic corporations among brands. McDonald's is considered the largest restaurant company in the entire world, with more than 37,000 points of sale in about 120 countries around the world. The economic strength and power of the network is almost uncountable.

The network employs a global workforce of more than 1.7 million people and serves a customer base of more than 70 million every day. Do you understand the size of the franchise network? It must not be easy to live without a McDonald's nearby!

Unfortunately – or not – there are countries that do not have company restaurants. Although the number of McDonald's restaurants in the world has surpassed 39,000 and continues to grow, there are still many countries that do not have even a single restaurant. There are several possible reasons for this absence. Understand!

Countries without McDonald's

In some countries, the lack of supply chains and infrastructure is an obstacle to keeping a McDonald's in operation. In others, political instability or the poverty of the population do not justify the necessary investment for operating costs, as a franchise requires an extraordinary return.

Some countries have a national diet that is very different from the McDonald's menu and do not value the nutritional quality of the chain's food. Finally, some countries simply prefer not to have a large international corporation competing with their favorite local establishments.
