During the press at the opening ceremony of the first restaurant, Nguyen Bao Hoang, who brought McDonald's in Vietnam, had anticipated this scenario. He admitted that despite being well-received in the early days, McDonald's challenge in the new market is not small. Answering the questions about long-term plans of developing the brand in Vietnam, Mr. Hoang said, "In the Philippines, McDonald's has 400 stores; and in Singapore with less population than Vietnam, it has 150. I believe that Vietnam can achieve high coverage, but it needs to wait for the response of the market".

Vietnam is the first country where McDonald's comes in the last 15 years (after appearing in Pakistan). Vietnam is the 38th country in Asia where the group presents. McDonald's has appeared in 119 countries all over the world. Vietnam is one of 65 markets in the world in which McDonald's applies the franchise to build and develop the brand. Business investors of Food and Beverage in Ho Chi Minh City evaluate whether the service and facilities of McDonald's is classified as a modern and high standard, but to be successful in as diverse culinary market as Saigon, the brand has to face difficult problems.
