Iceland Unveiled: 30 Mind-Blowing Facts That Will Make You Want to Pack Your Bags and Go!
There Are No McDonald’s There
McDonald’s has become a staple in over 100 countries with more than 38,000 locations worldwide. However, it’s shocking to learn that this fast-food chain is absent in Iceland. With a population of 346,938, as per the January 2023 United Nations data, Icelanders don’t have access to McDonald’s since the last outlet shut down in 2009, and no new ones have opened since.
Despite Icelanders’ frequent dining out habits, the world’s largest restaurant chain by revenue couldn’t withstand the nation’s unique landscape filled with volcanoes, hot springs, and fjords. Maybe Icelanders are content with their traditional dishes, or perhaps McDonald’s couldn’t compete with the island’s natural beauty.
