McDonald’s to enter Kazakhstan next year
McDonald’s is to open its first restaurants in Kazakhstan next year – a new market for the fast food chain.
The outlets will be opened in conjunction with a local developmental licensee, Kairat Boranbayev, and will mark the 120th global market for McDonald’s.
Doug Goare, president of McDonald’s Europe, said: "Kazakhstan offers much development and growth potential, and our agreement with Kairat will enable us to continue to build our brand."
The first restaurant is due to open in the second half of 2015, and will include classic menu items such as Chicken McNuggets and the Big Mac.
