McDonald's stock barely changed in pre-market trading Monday after the announcement the chain is leaving Russia altogether amid the Ukraine war.
CHICAGO -- McDonald's became the symbol of glasnost in action 30 years ago when it opened its first restaurant in Moscow. But after temporarily shutting down more than 800 restaurants following the invasion of Ukraine, McDonald's has decided to leave Russia altogether.
In March, shortly after the war began, McDonald's followed other Western companies and temporarily shut down its restaurants in Russia. Once the sale is finalized, the Russian restaurants will be"de-Arched," meaning the locations will no longer be allowed to use the McDonald's name, logo or menu. McDonald's said its employees will still be paid until the transaction closes and that"employees have future employment with any potential buyer."
"However, we have a commitment to our global community and must remain steadfast in our values. And our commitment to our values means that we can no longer keep the Arches shining there," he said.The decision brings to a remarkable end McDonald's three-decade relationship with Russia. McDonald's opened the doors of its first restaurant in Moscow on Jan. 31, 1990.
