Having been a regional manager for McDonald’s in the past. I have to whole heartily support a crunch being put upon McDonald’s. This is something that has been tossed up several times by Russians and it is something that is now necessary to be done. Get rid of McDonald’s in Russia…
With 400 units in Russia and growing (50 planned in 2017) it has been profitable enterprise from day one in Russia. McDonald’s had over a billion dollars in sales last year in Russia and profits are good, due to overhead at a lower level than in the USA. McDonald’s covers up most of their profit here in Russia, through buying lots of land, buildings, paper work slight of hand and such, but believe you me they make serious money in countries like Russia…

With the sanction fiscal that the US has imposed upon McDonald’s, my suggestion is to shut down all American businesses, period and replace them with Russian versions and do it now…
Russians love their McDonald’s, but that trend is changing and people in Russia are tired of the bull that is being tossed at them for no reason at all. Only reason that “Russia did it,” is to play games within America and her cronies and that play has far reaching effects…
Therefore, since many Russians read this blog…
Find a healthier and better place to eat! Unless you want to look like Americans and rival the fattest country in the world. Then drop the western wannabe stuff and get on with a better future…

I hope that McDonald’s is booted out of Russia and for Russia’s sake, please do just that.
Then China needs to do the same… (China accounts for billions in gross sales! With way over two thousand units in China…)
The lose of a billion in sales would destroy the bottom line that has been massaged and altered to make McDonald’s look better after a few years of serious losses. But then that is the norm and has been the norm for many years with McDonald’s. I know I set many a budget for the company stores I worked with…
Nothing good about McDonald’s, nothing good for the country and the people that these stores reside in…
USA you cannot afford to start having companies like McDonald’s falter and fail. But, you will if you keep pushing lies and doing acts of war against the countries that help support you and your world wide businesses. It is simply too easy to make a better product and company than what comes out of America…
I know, I spent many years making money for corporations in America and know the games played many times over…
Open a “McRussia” and “McChina” but first shut the units and tell America to stick it up their…….
