This is a list of countries with McDonald's restaurants. McDonald's is the second 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.
First outlet in Asia, see McDonald's Japan; McDonald's Holdings Company Japan, Inc.[10] locally known as makku (マック). The most McDonald's in a country besides the United States
This was the first outlet in Europe. Opened in 1971 by European Master Franchisees Jan Sybesma McDonald's Europe – Plan to open 15 more stores in the next 4 years. See McDonald's Netherlands
First outlet in Creteil in 1972 even though McDonald's officially recognizes the first outlet in Strasbourg in 1979. In 2019, France was the largest European market for the hamburger chain per investopedia.com. See also McDonald's France.
All restaurants were temporarily closed in 1992 during investigations of restaurant bombings in Taiwan; they reopened after investigations had concluded.
First outlet opened in East Thrace; outlets in Anatolia would open later. Also first outlet in the Turkic-speaking world, with Azerbaijan coming second at 1999. See McDonald's Turkey
As of April 2012, Fiji was the only country in the world to still use the 2003 "i'm lovin' it" packaging as the other countries are using the 2008 packaging for meals and items. See McDonald's Fiji
McDonald's previously had stores in Trinidad (May 6, 1997 – October 25, 2003) but closed due to low sales. Re-opened at The Falls at West Mall in 2011 and has expanded to 5 other locations.[42]
McDonald's outlets ceased operation during the Nicaraguan Civil War and re-established a presence in 1998 after an absence of two decades. During the civil war one continued operating as "Donald's".[43] See McDonald's Nicaragua
See McDelivery Lebanon, which is currently merged with its official website as local franchisee Miknas Food S.A.L. is gradually reforming their McDonald's store chain
After some 10 years of trying to enter the Bosnian market with no success, McDonald's opened its first restaurant in Bosnia on July 20, 2011. See McDonald's Bosnia and Herzegovina
Closed due to a passage of the government law that banned 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.
Closed due to 2008–2011 Icelandic financial crisis, All former McDonald's restaurants was renamed locally as Metro which served the same menu as Mcdonald's along with domestically made products
The one and only McDonald's restaurant based in the country 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 the decline of that restaurant's sales.

Needs an explanation what should be changed and why. Time has passed since April 2021, so replacing the article with this old version edit request won't happen. – NJD-DE (talk) 15:14, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There was NEVER McDonalds in Iran. Someone keeps adding this to the article but it's not cited by any reliable sources and there's not a single photo or document to back up this myth. Any references to it seem to be based on the uncited Wikipedia entry which repeatedly gets added then removed.
Furthermore, I know many people from Iran and none of them have ever been aware of any McDonalds in Iran. There is an anecdotal claim of an attempt to open one in 1994 which was then burned down, but no concrete proof that it was even official or anything.

I was unable to confirm McDonald's presence in United States' military bases in Iraq during the war, nor can I confirm its presence currently in the Green Zone or anywhere else. Closest thing I could find was a news article about MaDonal, and it referred to it as "McDonald's" in the headline. [3] If anyone has information regarding the subject please mention it here, otherwise I believe all mentions of Iraq should be removed from the article.
