McDonald’s will start reopening some of its restaurants in Ukraine in the coming months, a show of support after the American fast-food chain pulled out of Russia.
People, some of them still in masks to protect against coronavirus, enjoy outdoor McDonald's meal in downtown Kyiv, Ukraine, on June 9, 2020.
The burger giant closed its Ukrainian restaurants after Russia’s invasion nearly six months ago but has continued to pay more than 10,000 McDonald’s employees in the country. “We’ve spoken extensively to our employees who have expressed a strong desire to return to work and see our restaurants in Ukraine reopen,” Paul Pomroy, corporate senior vice president of international operated markets, said in a message to employees. “In recent months, the belief that this would support a small but important sense of normalcy has grown stronger.”
McDonald’s has 109 restaurants in Ukraine but didn’t say how many would reopen, when that would happen or which locations would be the first to welcome back customers. Over the next few months, the company said it will start working with vendors to get supplies into restaurants, prepare those stores, bring back employees and launch safety procedures with the war still raging to the east.
