to me this is very funny because it reminds me of the knockoff stores we have here in Mexico

also the local operator of Burger King Russia refuses to shut down all locations, Will Burger Tsar appear soon ? :thinkin-lenin:

    McDonalds corporate decides that in Russia, they’re going to buy a bunch of real estate then franchise it out. Corporate owns the property, but locations are locally operated.

    I guess that's practice for McD's all over the world - it's basically a way for them to control franchisees tighter by being their landlords.

      Yup. McDonalds is a real estate company, at least from the POV of their HQ. The food is just there to boost the price of the real estate, and ensure an occupant.
