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.

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.
