McDonald's has undertaken various operational and expansion initiatives in Spain and internationally. 

In Spain, the company implemented summer extended hours for several locations, such as Murcia and Castellón, to accommodate nighttime event attendees. Additionally, the brand is expanding its physical presence in Seville by opening a new restaurant in a converted 1920s historic building in the Gran Plaza neighborhood.

On a broader scale, McDonald's operator Arcos Dorados has launched a real estate initiative across 21 countries, including Mexico. This program utilizes a dedicated portal to solicit land proposals in high-traffic urban and suburban areas to facilitate further restaurant development.
