New restaurants sprouting up in Negros Occidental: McDonald's expands its presence with additional outlets

Scorching the Philippines with Golden Arches: McDonald's Unleashes a Frenzy of New Stores

Negros Occidental is heating up with a fiery fierceness as McDonald's, the globe-conquering fast-food titan, unveils three scorching new restaurants in the area. La Carlota City, Bago City, and Bacolod City (GM Cordova) got a taste of the scrumptious action in 2024, with another one joining the party in the City of Victorias last April 26, 2025. This influx brings the total number of McDonald's establishments gracing the Negros Island Region to a mouthwatering 15, a delectable combination of both company-owned and franchise heaven on earth.

Ever the merciless conquistadors, McDonald's isn't settling for a mere 15-piece McNuggets-sized expansion. No, sir! They're gearing up for another year that's as hot as a Fourth of July barbecue, with plans to open an additional 65-70 molten stores in 2025 – yes, you heard it right! Just like the previous year's fiery expansion.

Kenneth Yang, the fearless commander of McDonald's Philippines, underscored the brand's relentless hunger for growth. He declared, "Most likely, we should grow about the same as what we did last year... Hopefully, we surpass it." The Visayas region is expected to play a pivotal role in this unstoppable crusade, with McDonald's eyeing the tantalizing prize of key cities and emerging economic hubs for its newest locations.

Bacolod, Cebu, and Iloilo, oh my! The company sees a golden opportunity in the rising consumer demand and extensive infrastructure development found in these regions. Yang, in his unmatched wisdom, highlighted the undeniable appeal of McDonald's presence in thriving communities, stating, "As the country is growing and progressing in these areas, we will also be going there."

The Visayas region is the spark that'll ignite McDonald's nationwide invasion. Just take a hole-in-the-wall, no-frills joint here, and suddenly it transforms into a polished, modern-day palace, serving up the bright golden arches under the warm tropical sun. It really is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Recently, McDonald's Corporation solidified its long-standing loveaffair with the Philippines through the granting of a new 20-year master franchise for the country. The extended multi-unit franchise agreement between the Chicago-based institution and Golden Arches Development Corporation (GADC, also affectionately known as McDonald's Philippines) reinforces the leadership of visionaries George T. Yang and Kenneth Yang in driving the brand's expansion.

Chicago-based McDonald's Corporation trusts the Yangs and the Philippine market implicitly, as the nation remains one of the fastest-growing markets for the brand globally. In fact, George Yang held the master franchise since 1981, and under his unwavering guidance, McDonald's Philippines has blossomed into a nationwide empire with nearly 800 locations. The extension of the license announcement marks a new chapter in McDonald's Philippines' plan to extend the iconic Golden Arches to more communities in the years to come.

So, buckle up, Philippines, because your favorite fast-food behemoth is about to embark on an expansion that'll make your head spin. Whether it's southern or northern Luzon, Visayas, or Mindanao, the sumptuous morsels of the McDonald's empire will be soon invading your neighborhood. The competition better watch out 'cause the golden invasion is here, and it's not backing down anytime soon!
