Russian McDonald's buyer to rebrand restaurants
McDonald's has found a local buyer for its Russian business, after The War in Ukraine pushed it to quit the country.
Alexander Govor, who currently operates 25 McDonald's restaurants in Siberia, will take on The Firm 's 850 restaurants and staff, operating them under a new Brand , the Fast Food giant said.
It did not disclose the sale price, but has warned investors it would take a More Than $1bn hit from The Exit .
McDonald's had operated in Russia for More Than 30 years.
The opening of its first restaurant in Moscow in 1990 came to symbolise a thaw in Cold War tensions.
A year later, the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia opened up its economy to companies from The West . More Than three decades later, however, it is one of a growing number of corporations pulling out as The War in Ukraine and western sanctions make it difficult to operate.
McDonald's said it expected The Deal , which is subject to regulatory approval, to close in coming weeks.
Mr Govor has been a licensee of McDonald's since 2015. He is also co-founder of Neftekhimservice, a refining company, and a board member of another firm that owns The Park Inn hotel and private clinics in Siberia.
Russia's Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov said The Deal was the result of a " long and difficult" negotiation process and the government would provide Mr Govor with all the necessary assistance to Set Up operations.
The terms provide for McDonald's 62,000 staff in Russia to be retained for at least two years, with their existing pay and Mr Govor will pay the salaries of corporate staff in Russia until The Deal is completed.
McDonald's will retain its trademark in the country, it said, but the restaurants will be stripped of their menu, logo and other branding.
Announcing plans for the sale earlier This Week , chief executive Chris Kempczinski called the decision " extremely difficult".
" 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 .
McDonald's suspended operations at its restaurants in Russia, most of which it owned directly, in March, citing the " humanitarian crisis" and " unpredictable operating environment" caused by the Ukraine war.
Last Year , Russia and Ukraine accounted for about 9% of The Company 's revenue.
The Move by McDonald's came after French carmaker Renault sold its majority stake in carmaker Aftovaz to a state Research Institute for a symbolic sum, while its Renault Russia business was taken over by The City of Moscow. Manufacturing at the Renault plant is expected to resume under a Soviet-era Brand .
