It's the stuff of nightmares, but for one country — running out of McDonald's has become a tragic reality. McDonald's restaurants across Fiji have announced on social media that due to global shipping issues, some of the fan favourites will be off the menu.
After the financial crash of 2008, the one McDonald's restaurant in Reykjavik left town. It was not very established in the first place as the local burger chain, Hambórgarabúllan, was so popular that people basically boycotted the foreign chain. Now there are a number of great places to get a burger in Iceland.
The famous Golden Arches have dimmed in Fiji without a beef patty product in sight. McDonald's has been forced to publicly announce on Wednesday that it's run out of stock due to global shipping issues.
These 4 restaurants are serviced by a Distribution Centre that imports food and paper products into Fiji mainly from its global McDonald's supplier in New Zealand. McDonald's Fiji is owned and operated by Marc McElrath and currently employs more than 300 staff.
At the beginning of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, McDonald's had over 800 restaurants across Russia with a total of 62,000 employees, "hundreds" of suppliers, and millions of daily customers.
Today they are found everywhere around the world - well not quite everywhere. Notably of the 56 countries in Africa, only four have a Mcdonald's (only one of which is in Sub-Saharan Africa). It may come as a surprise to many, but there are countries in the world (like Ukraine and Russia) where McDonald's serves beer.
KFC, the fried-chicken restaurant chain, has halted operations in Fiji, amid a row over imports of the ingredients to make its flavoured crumb coating.
SUVA (The Independent/Pacific Media Watch): Colonel Sanders appears to have met his match in Fiji, with KFC closing all three of its outlets after the food-safety agency slapped the restaurant chain's top-secret herbs and spices blend in quarantine.

McDonald's almost cracked the Zimbabwean market in 2000, however a collapse in the African nation's economy scared the large American company away. Things were so dire in Zimbabwe that it made more sense to use their local currency as toilet paper rather than buy the actual stuff!
Introduction. While McDonald's is a global icon, the fast-food giant does not have a presence in many countries worldwide. There are 123 countries where McDonald's has not set up a restaurant yet, including Afghanistan, Bhutan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and North Korea, among many others.
McDonald's announced its exit from the Russian market in May, saying it would sell its 850 restaurants due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It joined an exodus of western businesses from the Russian market amid sanctions and serious shortages in some sectors.
McDonald's first entered Russia in 1990, with its first location opening on January 31 that year in Moscow's Pushkin Square. In the next seven years, the company opened 21 locations across Russia.
There are over 36,000 McDonald's locations all over the planet, and the chain is on every continent except Antarctica.
As you can probably guess, Iceland's geography is not favourable to growing every ingredient in a McDonald's burger, and the country had to rely on imported goods. Germany used to fill this gap by providing Iceland with the food ingredients that were required to produce McDonald's menu items in the country.
China is its biggest market with more than 5,600 outlets while 12 million people eat at KFC restaurants every day around the world. As of 2021, KFC has approximately 25,000 locations in over 145 countries and territories globally.
The type of chickens used and the feed supplements used are not allowed. For KFC to be profitable you would need ultra fast growing chickens and bigger chickens than the current farmers provide. Growing them for a week or two more, could make them big enough. But fast growing and big chickens are fragile.
1. First off, let's talk about ingredients. Australia has some of the highest food standards globally, so the freshness and quality of our produce is a lot better than what you get in the US — meaning that our fast food tastes better.
KFC NZ has over 100 stores nationwide, serving up delicious Secret Recipe Chicken that Kiwis know and love.
KFC's fries were last taken off the menu in February due to a "global supply disruption", and were temporarily replaced with waffle hash.
And in 1994, McDonald's opened its first restaurant in Egypt. Today, over 80,000 customers are served under the Golden Arches at more than 100 stores throughout the country.
McDonald's got its start in China in the early '90s. Today, the chain has more than 4,500 restaurants in mainland China and Hong Kong with considerable room for growth.
