Why are there not a lot of McDonald's in North Dakota and South Dakota?

Part of the reason there are so few McDonalds in North Dakota and South Dakota are the Franchising rules for McDonalds Restaurants. In the past, you could not get a McDonalds franchise unless you could show a customer base of at least 25,000 people. Very few communities in North Dakota and South Dakota could qualify under this rule.
Later on, McDonalds lowered that requirement so that smaller towns can now qualify for a franchise. However, you still need to have a large enough customer base to be able to profitably run a McDonalds and many areas of the two states still don't have enough potential customers to be able to afford to build a McDonalds restaurant.

∙ 12y agoIn order to have a McDonald's franchise, you have to show that you will generate enough business to make a profit. Most areas in North Dakota and South Dakota do not have a large enough population to meet that requirement.
Those purchasing a McDonald's franchise also want to be sure they are going to make a profit, so they will not open a McDonald's in an area where they will not be able to do so.
