Chuo-ku Hyundai, a town with a lively first store.
(Hamburger chain)

In the previous series, I think you mentioned that Chuo-ku is dotted with the first shops that are developing various chains.

The first part of Chuo-ku, a town with a lively first store.
Chuo-ku middle part, a town with a lively first store.
The second part of Chuo-ku, a town with a lively first store.

What's going on now? ？
I personally cared about it. I'm pleased to announce that we have examined the hamburger chain.
※We conducted our own research using store searches at each company. We investigated fairly carefully, but please forgive us if there is a difference from the real number.


Overall, there are few hamburger chain stores in Chuo-ku.
Well, to some extent, it's the result. Because Chuo-ku

①At the same time, the population itself is relatively small, 22nd out of 23 wards.

②This is because the area is relatively small, 22nd out of 23 wards.

Also, this is speculation, but it may be partly due to the small number of universities.


Chuo-ku, which has the Ginza area, has a high tendency to be selected as the first prestigious store thanks to it.
This may be one of the targets for opening stores in multiple stores.


Now, I would like to take a look at each brand.

Mcdonald's

Chuo-ku Hyundai (Hamburger Chain), a town with McDonald's lively and first store.

↑McDonald's Ningyocho Store

The champion McDonald's had six stores in Chuo-ku.

・In front of Kachidoki Station
・In front of Tsukishima Station
・Ningyocho
・City air terminal
・2, Ginza
・Ginza Ins

A little lonely figure for those who have seen this city for many years. I think there was more in the past.
I recall that it used to be in Yaesu Underground Shopping Center, Mitsukoshi-mae, Kodemmacho, St. Luke's Tower, Triton Square, etc.
I have the impression that the number has been greatly reduced in the last 10 years.
I don't know the number of stores in Chuo-ku once, but I have the impression that it has decreased considerably.

All of the shops that have disappeared above have memories.
When I was young, I didn't have much money, so I went to countless places such as McDonald's in Yaesu Underground Shopping Center during my vocational school days.

The author independently examined the entire McDonald's as a whole.
The number of stores as of March 2017 was 2900
The number of stores as of July 2024 was 2972.
That means that the total number of stores does not seem to be significantly decreasing.


The most populous ward ranks the top number of stores.
Well, that's the case, right?

Lotteria

The first store in Rottery was lost in Takashimaya.
Currently, only remains the Ginza Crystal Building store in Sukiyabashi, Ginza.

However, I am very pleased that I have left a store in Chuo-ku, the place where it was founded.
※It's zero in Adachi-ku, about five times the area of Chuo-ku, right?

The location of Rottery in Ginza is also good, so I would like to stop by when there is an errand nearby.

MOS Burger

Mosburger had 3 stores in Chuo-ku.

・Nishi Ginza
・Ginza Nine
・Tsukishima

That's right.

Of particular note are 10 stores in Itabashi-ku.

Mosburger was founded in Narimasu, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo. It was founded in 1972.

Itabashi-ku has 14 McDonald's stores, and it is clear that stores tend to be easily gathered due to its large population.
I'm a little happy to be ranked 10 stores in the place of founding and 3rd in the 23rd ward (only me? ？）

The first Mosburger store is still alive today.
It's a bit frank to introduce it on the blog of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, but we recommend that you go as soon as you can.


There are three stores in Chuo-ku, except for the Ginza area, which is a key point, only one store in Tsukishima.
There is no one store in the former Nihonbashi Ward.

I love Mosburger, moschikin or something delicious!
I would like you to open a store in the Nihonbashi area.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

↑Kentucky Ningyocho Store

The last thing I'll look at is Kentucky Fried Chicken.
There are many places in the western area of Tokyo centered on Shinjuku Ikebukuro. There is a lot of slope in the downtown area.

In addition, there are many cases where they are in large shopping malls such as LaLaport, Seven and Eye, and Aeon.
There is also a tendency to have a large number of stores in Koto-ku, which has Toyosu.

There are shopping malls such as Choredo Muromachi in Nihonbashi too.
I don't know if it's a policy or why, but we don't have fast food restaurants.

The following two stores were located in Chuo-ku.
・Ningyocho store
・Ginza INZ store





Let's put it together.
Chuo-ku, which has Ginza, is strong at the first store, but it has won (?) That's a bad thing.
All of the hamburger chains introduced this time were even more difficult without Ginza.
・The population is small
・A small area
I think this is the main reason, but personally I want you to increase a little more.

Chuo-ku, which has the highest birth rate, is Chuo-ku, where the number of children is increasing in the future.
I hope you will increase the number of stores in each chain from now on.


When I was a child, I was really looking forward to going to nearby McDonald's with my parents.
This time, I want to have my daughters enjoy such fun in Chuo-ku.
