In Seoul, Gangnam, “McDonald’s 2nd Branch”

McDonald’s is a prominent multinational fast-food franchise born in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It serves as a symbol of American capitalism and globalization, particularly renowned as a synonym for fast-food hamburgers, alongside Coca-Cola and Apple.

With a global presence, McDonald’s has even created a concept called the “Big Mac Index,” using the price of its menu item “Big Mac” to calculate purchasing power, showcasing its substantial impact on the world economy.

“McDonald’s in Seoul Gangnam”

McDonald’s can also be found in the Gangnam area. While the 1st branch on Gangnam-daero connecting Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station is no longer available due to building remodeling, only the 2nd branch remains.

McDonald’s 2nd Branch in Gangnam is located near Gangnam Station, right in sight when exiting from Exit 12 of Gangnam Station on Subway Line 2.

“Situated on the 2nd floor, McDonald’s”

You can find the McDonald’s store on the 2nd floor. To enter, you can either take the stairs or use the elevator. At the entrance, you’ll notice a small Statue of Liberty, placed there as a sign by the adjacent PC room.

Upon ascending to the 2nd floor, you’ll discover a reasonably large McDonald’s store decorated with the distinctive colorful McDonald’s atmosphere.

If you choose a seat by the window, you can enjoy a meal while admiring the view near Gangnam Station.

“McDonald’s, Ideal for Solo Meals”

McDonald’s is particularly suitable for solo dining. You can order through the kiosk, receive your food, and comfortably enjoy your meal. With recent sharp increases in meal prices, McDonald’s has relatively moderate pricing, making it less burdensome for solo diners, which is an advantage.
