McDonald’s To Reopen Its Restaurants In Ukraine
Roughly six months after 110 McDonald’s locations in Ukraine were forced to close amid the Russia-Ukraine turmoil, the fast food chain has announced plans to gradually re-open those restaurants.
“As we look forward, supporting our people in Ukraine continues to be our number one priority,” said Paul Pomeroy, corporate senior vice president of international operated markets at McDonald’s. He also stated that the McDonald’s re-openings will take place in various phases, with some reportedly set to take place in the capital of Kyiv and western Ukraine. An exact timeline has yet to be announced. Additionally Pomeroy revealed that “In recent months, the belief that this would support a small but important sense of normalcy has grown stronger. And Ukrainian officials have advised that businesses resuming operations will support the local economy and the Ukrainian people.”
