This is the 14th restaurant in the Algarve and the 216th nationwide, representing, according to the company, "an important milestone in the brand's growth and investment in Portugal", according to a report by Postal.

The new space will be operated by Joaquim Jorge, a McDonald's franchisee for 26 years and responsible for seven other restaurants between Vila Real de Santo António and Vilamoura.

McDonald's Quarteira offers 119 seats in the dining area and 100 on the terrace, in addition to a McDrive service with two service positions, designed to guarantee "even faster service and greater convenience for its customers."

The restaurant also includes an underground parking garage with 75 spaces, including dedicated areas for families, people with reduced mobility, and electric vehicles with fast charging points.

The opening of McDonald’s Quarteira generates approximately 60 new direct jobs, recruited from the region, contributing to the local economic dynamism.

Franchisee Joaquim Jorge emphasized: “We are very excited about the opening of the McDonald’s restaurant in Quarteira. We have a modern restaurant, with all the McDonald’s innovations and a team that will warmly welcome everyone who lives in or visits our region.”
