Would we like to suspend all Burger King operations immediately in Russia? Yes. Are we able to enforce a suspension of operations today? No, Shear wrote.

When Burger King first entered Russia in 2010, it did so through a deal with Russian restaurateur Alexander Kolobov and other partners in the region.
Kolobov is responsible for operating the more than 800 Burger King locations in Russia, but has not been receptive to RBIs attempts to pull out of the region, according to Shear.

We contacted the main operator of the business and demanded the suspension of Burger King restaurant operations in Russia. He has refused to do so, Shear wrote.
The company says it has cut off all support to its Russian franchises and says its donating any proceeds from those operations to the United Nations refugee agency.

Why would they? They're not getting any money from Russia either way, he's just took over the name in Russia, and seeing as he has 800 chains under him, I'm sure the infrastructure isn't at risk. There's just a continuity error for Burger King now, particularly since Russia isn't going to enforce Burger King's copyrights against their own oligarch.

I wonder if they will tell him to shut down, and he doesn't, if BK HQ will still accept money from them, or they cut ties entirely.

What proceeds? They're providing no services so they don't have money coming in.

I think it's weird that Burger King can't pull out, but McDonalds can when McDonalds is just real estate and there's literally nothing preventing owners from just keeping operations going.

If you already know what it means to franchise a business this news cycle is particularly mind-numbing. It's not like it's an abstract concept that could reasonably require multiple articles and still not be clear.

It's common knowledge that the entirety of Russia is fed exclusively via Burger King.

Think of the people, Blightzkrieg!

I think it's more common knowledge that minimum wage workers who can't work starve to death in a country like that.
