Several former McDonald’s restaurants have reopened without branding, operating under generic names such as “Cheeseburger,” weeks after the US fast-food giant left the market.
Ex-McDonald’s licensee, Food Solutions KZ, vowed to maintain “high quality and service standards” and would soon reveal its new brand name.
McDonald’s and Food Solutions KZ terminated their license agreement this month due to supply issues after McDonald’s Kazakhstan was told to stop buying supplies from Russia and had trouble replacing them.
Food Solutions KZ, which did not say whether it has replaced any components with Kazakh produce, revealed its new menu included items such as beef, chicken, and fish burgers as well as chicken nuggets, fries, and ice cream.
McDonald’s closed in Russia soon after Moscow invaded Ukraine last February, eventually selling its restaurants to a local licensee, Alexander Govor, who in June unveiled the Vkusno & Tochka brand.
