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.
