Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko explained exactly how import substitution works after the McDonald’s restaurant chain left the country. In this respect reports RIA News.
We didn’t keep anyone, but we didn’t throw anyone out either. “But this is McDonald’s… And the marchers came up to me: “We can’t… We can’t cut a bun in half and stuff it with sausage or meat, fries – we can’t do that. “We can’t do anything.” I think I’ll check if we can do it,” the press service quoted the head of state as saying.
Currently, 25 former McDonald’s restaurants operate in Belarus, and the chain has a private investor. In April 2022, KSB Victory Restaurants, the company that operates the McDonald’s chain in Belarus, announced that it started working under the new Mak.by brand.
Before that Lukashenko stated About plans to sell McDonald’s restaurants in Belarus.
Former CEO of McDonald’s reported About the impact of Israel’s war with Hamas on the company.
