Goodbye “McDonald”, Hello “Uncle Vanya”…
Since all the infrastructure is in Russia….everything that McDonald does in 99% of the countries they are in, due to cost factors….is in house…
From fries, beef, produce, buns….everything is called localization of food for that country. They raise their own beef, local bakers bake buns, potatoes are local grow in their own fields near the process factories, the factories to process their food is strategically placed around the country. This is how they reduce food costs and keep from having issues with products as they would have very long supply lines if all came from the USA. It makes McDonald self-sufficient within each country it is located…
Good way to do business, except when the USA forces them to leave and then they just lost everything. Including the literally most profitable market they had….I said “HAD”…
What, you thought….that very much better Big Mac, the one that you get in Russia, is exactly the same as in the USA? Not hardly, most countries have superior burgers in their McDonald within their countries than we have in the USA…
Now it is obvious that “Uncle Vanya” just got rich…
The Mascot…
I really like this and it makes me smile as the articles about this subject in the west show serious issues, hate and phobias about Russia…
“Uncle Vanya”….sounds kinda Mafia…
Yes, Good Bye Yellow Brick Road…
