McDonald’s Plans Massive Expansion In Germany

The fast food giant is planning to open around 500 new restaurants in Germany in the coming years and intends to invest a total of three billion euros.

In addition to the development of new locations and the modernization of existing restaurants, investments in green energy through photovoltaics and two-lane “McDrives” are also being considered, revealed Mario Federico, Managing Director of McDonald´s Germany, in an interview with the German “Focus”.

The expansion is expected to create a total of 35,000 new jobs in Germany over the next ten years. Currently, the company employs 65,000 people and operates 1,388 restaurants across Germany.

According to a recent value creation study conducted by the company in collaboration with the Pestel economic research institute, McDonald’s generated added value of around 4.3 billion euros in Germany in 2022 alone. This not only represents a significant direct economic output, but also a considerable impact on the labor market.
