According to airport staff, negotiations for the outlet are currently underway. Cao Runmin, real estate manager of the airport company, told China Daily that a new McDonald’s outlet could be opened by the end of this year if every thing goes smoothly.


McDonald’s opened another outlet in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport two days ago, and has reported that its first day of sales was “satisfactory”.
