Who Knew? Some Fun Facts

There is a McDonald’s in every continent except Antarctica.​

Overall, there are more than 36,000 McDonald’s restaurants spread out across the globe.

While this number is incredibly high, it makes perfect sense considering that this favorite fast-food ranks as the second-largest fast-food restaurant chain in the world!

The first McDonald’s to open outside of the USA commenced operations on June 3, 1967, in Richmond, Canada.

The Coffee Shop, McMurdo Station, Antarctica​


"While it may not be accessible to everyone, believe it or not, Antarctica is actually home to a café. The Coffee Shop, formerly the Officer’s Club which only allowed in officers, is now open to the general “public” of Antarctic inhabitants."

The Coffee Shop, McMurdo Station, Antarctica

"Though the population of the continent is often as little as 1,000 people, it is enough to support a café that remains a popular spot. People enjoy socializing at the café where they can appreciate a non-smoking environment, gentle music, and occasionally even concerts."

"Because the scientists and other inhabitants come from across the world, it is quite an interesting place to meet new people."
