Former McDonald's will operate in Kazakhstan under the name I'm

Under the brand name you can see the phrase: feel-good restaurants (“restaurants that lift your spirits”). The corresponding video was shown at the presentation of the new brand in Almaty.

“Despite the changes inside and outside the company, our employees, partners and suppliers remain with us,” Aset Mashanov, General Director of Food Solutions KZ, noted at the presentation. The company noted that the brand name symbolizes the “openness” of the Kazakh network.

Earlier it was reported that on January 5, a chain of restaurants managed by Food Solutions KZ LLP announced the cessation of work under the McDonald's brand in the republic due to restrictions in local supplies. McDonald's in Kazakhstan (Food Solutions KZ LLP) has been operating for more than six years and is one of the leaders in the fast food restaurant industry. The company had 24 McDonald's restaurants in several cities of the republic and provided jobs for about 2 thousand people. On January 10, the CEO of Food Solutions KZ stated that the company has not yet decided on a new name for the restaurants, and is developing a local brand, which will be announced later.

Until now, former McDonald's restaurants in Kazakhstan were named after employees of the chain as a temporary measure.
