McDonald’s Myeongdong Branch in Seoul

McDonald’s is a prominent multinational fast-food franchise that originated in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It has become synonymous with fast-food burgers and is a trademark symbolizing American capitalism and globalization, alongside companies like Coca-Cola and Apple.

Having expanded worldwide, McDonald’s even created a concept called the “Big Mac Index” to calculate inflation based on the price of their signature menu item, the “Big Mac,” showcasing the immense impact the company has on the global economy.
