The second outlet in Vietnam of the world’s largest restaurant chain is situated at the corner of Pham Ngu Lao and Tran Hung Dao streets near Ben Thanh Market in District 1. It is also within the international backpackers’ area.

The opening of the outlet will come within three months after McDonald launched its first Vietnamese branch this February under a franchise agreement with Ho Chi Minh City-based Good Day Hospitality.

The first restaurant served more than 400,000 customers in its first month of business, Good Day Hospitality owner Henry Nguyen told this March’s Vietnam Access Day, a major international investment forum, attended by many overseas investors.

Nguyen said about 22,500 customers were served during the first 24 hours of operation on February 8. He added the restaurant, opening 24/7 with drive-thru services, sold almost 62,000 Big Macs in its first 30 days of business.

Good Day Hospitality expects the momentum to continue for the second restaurant.
