“The opening of our 800th store is another milestone for McDonald’s in the Philippines, following our new term license agreement with McDonald’s Corporation. It is a reflection of our stewardship of the business—our commitment to growth, and our continued commitment to the customers and communities we serve. With 800 McDonald’s stores and growing, we look forward to creating more feel-good moments and memorable experiences for more Filipinos in more parts of the country.” ~Kenneth S.

McDonald's Philippines launched its 800th location on June 30th, demonstrating its ongoing expansion and scaling. This landmark store is situated in Davao Global Township, a new central business district in Davao del Sur that features a park-inspired way of life.
The launch of the store coincides with Golden Arches Development Corporation (GADC) President & CEO Kenneth S. Yang and Chairman and Founder Dr. George T. Yang receiving a new 20-year franchise from McDonald's Corporation in Chicago, Illinois. George and Kenneth Yang will continue to run and expand the McDonald's brand in the nation, including sub-franchising its eateries, until 2045 under the new agreement. Since the Golden Arches established its first McDonald's restaurant in Morayta, Manila, in 1981, the Yangs have owned the master franchise for McDonald's in the Philippines.
The new location is located at Matina Galleria, Gen. Douglas MacArthur Highway, Talomo, Davao City, and is open twenty-four hours a day. It is the first Bike & Dine restaurant and the 22nd McDonald's in Davao City. The 179-seat eatery offers McDelivery, ride-thru, takeout, and dining in. It also features a Party Area that's ideal for parties.
