McDonald’s is one of Norway’s largest restaurant chains, with 77 restaurants and more than 4000 employees across the country. This makes McDonald’s an important employer, especially for young people, as many get their first work experience there. McDonald’s is a proud supporter of Norwegian agriculture, and serves Norwegian beef, chicken, potatoes and vegetables. Most of its purchases come from the Norwegian food industry. Being good neighbors everywhere they operate is part of their DNA. In Norway, Ronald McDonald House Charities has opened a children’s house in association with Stine Sofie’s Foundation, providing free assistance to children and youth who are victims of violence and abuse.
