The operator of hundreds of Burger King locations in Russia has "refused" to close them down, stymying the restaurant operator's attempts to leave the country.
RBI international president David Shear said in a letter to employees Thursday that the company had contacted Kolobov to demand that all Russian Burger Kings cease operations, and Kolobov refused. It has proved difficult to withdraw from the complicated web of business agreements the company established there 10 years ago, he said.
Burger King's experience illustrates the difficulty many corporations face when trying to extricate themselves from decades-old investments. Consumers watching the horrific humanitarian toll of Russia's assault on its neighbor have registered their disapproval of those businesses remaining in Russia, vowing boycotts on social media.
