Countries That Boycotted McDonald’s
North Macedonia
Located in The Balkans in southeastern Europe, Macedonia has tonnes to offer in terms of food. Locals love kebabs, cabbage rolls, and moussaka, and the capital Skopje even had McDonald’s franchises until 2013. The company running them unexpectedly lost its license and they were all forced to close without explanation.
Laos
While Laos' economy is developing, poverty and malnutrition have been challenges, which has meant McDonald's hasn't expanded into the country just yet. Neighboring Vietnam got its first branch in 2013 and Thailand has had outposts of the global chain since the 1980s.
