McDonald’s is currently the largest restaurant chain world over, and the world’s second-largest private employer. These restaurants are located in 100 different countries and serve over 69 million customers per day. McDonald’s is well known for its burgers, fries, and drinks, excelling in uniformity of products, to an extent. Depending on where in the world you are, you may find yourself looking at a slightly different Mcdonald’s menu. Alternatively, you may also find yourself looking at a completely different McDonald’s restaurant! We often think that, with fast-food chains, if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all, but the McDonald’s franchise is here to prove you wrong. These 20 McDonald’s chains will make you believe in alternate universes with far fancier McDonald’s restaurants than what we’re used to, and you may not have to go too far to find them!
