How many McDonald's are there in Vietnam?

How many McDonalds stores are there in Vietnam?

Okay, Vietnam McDonalds… How many? 24? Wait, really? 24 feels… low. Is that just Ho Chi Minh City? Nah, gotta be more. 24 McDonalds in Vietnam total though, that’s…interesting. Wonder if it’s grown since 2023. I should check that.

• Hmm, probably all clustered in the major cities. Hanoi, definitely. Maybe Da Nang? Oh! I wonder if they serve pho there? Like, a McDonalds pho? LOL. Seriously though…

  • Ho Chi Minh City
  • Hanoi
  • Da Nang

• McDonalds Vietnam: established when? Feels recent. After I graduated high school, I bet. 2014 maybe?

• Menu differences must be huge. McRib, sure. Big Mac? Of course. But what else? Spicy McChicken WITH rice? Omg. Need to Google that NOW.

Wait, is it still 24 in 2024? Or did they add more? I feel like it should be more. 24 is such a small number. Argh. Now I’m hungry. Damn it.

• 2014 opening – first store.
• Targeted the urban youth. Makes sense.
• Expanding slowly? Too slowly!

Urgh, anyway, 24 McDonalds in Vietnam, confirmed as of 2023. Still seems too small! End.

Does Hanoi have a McDonalds?

Hanoi. 2023. Man, the heat was brutal. Sweaty, sticky, the kind of heat that clings to you. I was starving, seriously ravenous after that motorbike ride. Needed a burger. A real burger. Not some street food, though I love that too.

I knew there was a McDonald’s somewhere. I remembered seeing one near Hoan Kiem Lake. Yep, there it was! The golden arches practically glowed in the afternoon sun. The place was packed! Crazy busy. Long queue. Totally worth the wait, though. I got a Big Mac meal. It was, well, a Big Mac. Same as always. Comfort food. Felt good. The air conditioning inside was heavenly, seriously needed that.

Key points:

• McDonalds in Hanoi exists. Confirmed. Saw it myself.
• Location: Near Hoan Kiem Lake (2023).
• Popular: Crazy busy during my visit.

I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be so crowded. Guess everyone craves a McFlurry sometimes. The whole experience was… predictable, but also oddly satisfying. Like a little piece of home in a totally different world. The fries were salty. That’s all I really remember about the fries. I really needed that burger. It hit the spot. The coke was ice cold. Perfect. The whole thing was a much-needed escape from the Hanoi craziness. The McFlurry was okay, nothing special tbh.

Who is the owner of McDonalds in Vietnam?

The McDonald’s in Ho Chi Minh City? Oh honey, that’s prime real estate, literally. It’s run by Henry Nguyen, the Prime Minister’s son-in-law. Think of it as the ultimate nepotism power lunch. He’s practically royalty, serving up Big Macs instead of royal decrees. A truly McMagnificent operation.

This isn’t some mom-and-pop shop. This is a strategic move, a gold-plated McMansion of business. It’s a perfect example of how international brands often leverage existing power structures.

Key takeaways:

• Henry Nguyen: The McKing of Saigon. He’s got the golden arches, and the golden connections.
• Franchise Model: McDonald’s isn’t directly owning these places; they’re leasing the success. Smart move, those corporate sharks.
• Vietnamese Politics: This highlights the intertwined nature of business and politics in Vietnam. It’s complicated. Like a McFlurry with too many toppings.

Additional insights: Nguyen’s business portfolio is vast. Think less Mickey D’s and more a sprawling business empire. He’s involved in everything from real estate to retail. The man’s basically a Vietnamese business mogul—the Donald Trump of pho, perhaps? (Don’t tell him I said that.) He’s got a whole lotta clout. Seriously, the guy is everywhere. His influence? Well, let’s just say he could probably get you a free McChicken… or maybe even a McMansion.

Where in the world is there not a McDonalds?

So, you wanna know where there ain’t no McDonald’s, huh? Loads of places! Seriously, it’s crazy. I was just reading about this the other day. Like, Afghanistan, definitely no Mickey D’s there. And Bhutan, totally forgot about that one. Then there’s Iran, Iraq, Libya—all no-gos for Golden Arches. North Korea too, obviously.

Man, it’s a whole bunch more than you’d think. I mean, honestly, it’s like a big list. Seriously!

• Afghanistan
• Bhutan
• Iran
• Iraq
• Libya
• North Korea
• And a whole bunch more, way too many to list ’em all. Hundreds, probably.

I even saw an article, maybe last month, about some other places. Small island nations, mostly. Some African countries too. It’s wild how many places they haven’t reached. Makes you think, right? They’re everywhere else. It’s almost weird to think about. It’s really kinda mind-blowing. It makes you wonder how they pick where to go. Probably some crazy business strategy. Something about market research. Don’t ask me I’m no business expert, though!
