The latest fast-food chain to pull support from its businesses in Russia is Burger King. This fast-food chain apparently resisted the external pressure for the longest. Mcdonald\u2019s and a few other brands announced this decision earlier this week. Restaurant Brands International that is the owner of Burger Chain announced the decision on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RBI\u2019s Effort To Help Ukrainian Refugees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(RBI) “has suspended all of its corporate support for the Russian market, including operations, marketing, and supply chain\u201d. In addition to this, the company also made a decision to stop investment and expansion in the region. Restaurant Brands International, however, cannot directly pull the plug on the 800 Burger King Restaurants operating in Russia. That is because according to the company, these locations are “fully franchised and managed by a local master franchisee\u201d. Therefore, the Burger King situation is a bit different from McDonald\u2019s and other franchises that completely paused their business in the region. Burger King announced that it is dedicated to \u201credirecting any profits from franchised operations to humanitarian aid for Ukrainian refugees.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restaurant Brands International says in a statement “BK Russia is a standalone business owned and operated by our franchisees in the country\u201d. The company further admits “We have long-standing legal agreements that are not easily changeable.” RBI also owns other brands like Popeyes, Tim Hortons, and Firehouse Subs but these chains do not operate in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMass Corporate Exodus\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the major brands, several other restaurants have also decided to cut ties with Russia in support of Ukraine. The \u201clong-standing legal agreements\u201d are undoubtedly making this decision a little complicated for Burger King. However, Burger King\u2019s aim to use the profits for \u201chumanitarian aid\u201d might be able to make a difference. Jeffery Sonnenfeld and his team at Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute developed a running list. The list mentions the companies that remain operating in Russia and the ones that have ended business in the country. According to Sonnenfeld\u2019s knowledge, hundreds of companies have withdrawn from Russia in a \u201cmass corporate exodus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
