Mind-Blowing Iceland Facts to Make You Fall in Love with the Country
Iceland Has No McDonald’s
McDonald’s is one of the most recognizable fast-food chains in the world, with locations in over 100 countries. Surprisingly, however, there are no McDonald’s restaurants in Iceland. With a population of nearly 350,000, according to the United Nations in January 2023, Icelanders have not had access to the fast food restaurant since the last outlet closed in 2009.
The global economic crisis and the increasing expense of imported food caused Iceland to be particularly affected. McDonald’s products, which are largely imported, were too costly for customers. On the day they shut down operations, the fans of the fast food chain rushed to get their last meal at the restaurant.
