"McDonald's" in Krasnoyarsk: how to get there? Reviews

The news that McDonald's will open in Krasnoyarsk very soon, literally, has been teasing since 2012. Then there were sponsors who could buy out the franchise, and developers who were ready to carry out the construction, then all died down. In a word, we decided to dispel all these rumors and omissions, and most importantly, to find out whether the representation of the network will get to the glorious city of Krasnoyarsk?

General information about the Russian representative offices of the network

McDonald's - a large American chain of fast food restaurants, occupying a leading position in the ranking of the most influential corporations in the world. The idea of creating such sales points belonged to the McDonald's brothers, who were among the first to offer a new solution in the young at that time fast food.

Over time, the representation of this organization began to open around the world. In Russia, the first "McDonalds" (in Krasnoyarsk it was not even in the project) was opened in 1990. The place for the top restaurant was Moscow.

The opening of this place on Pushkin Square caused an unusual delight of local residents. On the opening day, the restaurant staff managed to feed about 30,000 people with foreign food. Despite the fact that much time has passed since then, and only in the Russian capital there are about 277 representative offices of McDonald's, the restaurant at Pushkinskaya continues to lead in the ranking of the largest and most visited places in Europe.

User feedback on the network

Reviews about "McDonald's" can be heard most ambiguous. Someone likes it, because there is an opportunity to eat quickly and deliciously. Others are unhappy with the size of portions and the high price for them. Still others, of course, are children, they are delighted with toys inside some sets with products, from bright design, free balls and crispy French fries. And, finally, the fourth blame the creators of restaurants for the reason of obesity of the population, etc.

Entrance of the network to the restaurant business of Siberia

Over time, the well-known McDonald's network went far beyond Moscow. Its representative offices are in St. Petersburg, Syzran, Novosibirsk, Novokuznetsk and other Russian cities. Since 2000, the American corporation has begun to probe the soil, with the goal of eventually entering the market of restaurant business in Siberia. However, it became known about the fact that it is planned to open the McDonald's in Krasnoyarsk several years after this event.

Why did Viktor Eidemiller come to Krasnoyarsk?

For the first time the opening of McDonald's restaurants in Krasnoyarsk started in 2012. It was at this time that Victor Eidemiller, the Vice President for Development of McDonald's, arrived here. At that time, he arrived at the special invitation of the former governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Lev Kuznetsov. From that very day, long and protracted negotiations on the franchise of a large fast food chain began. At that time, the question of when they would open McDonald's in Krasnoyarsk was not on the agenda.

Who participated in the negotiations?

In the negotiations to open a representative office in Krasnoyarsk, not only the former governor and development expert, the head of the City Council, but also the owner of the construction organization Sibiryak, Vladimir Yegorov, took part. It was he who planned to recreate the McDonald's in Krasnoyarsk. The address of the future representative offices of public catering at that time was not yet known.

Prolonged negotiations and decision-making

Decision to open several McDonald's restaurants in the city (in Krasnoyarsk Already have a similar institution) was very protracted. The reason for the omission was the lack of agreement between the parties to the transaction.

The fact is that the representatives of the network planned to bring raw materials for cooking burgers and cheeseburgers from abroad (meat from Sweden, and buns from Germany). But only in Krasnoyarsk there are specialists who are ready to provide services for the production of raw materials according to McDonald's standards. For example, the desire to make buns for fast food expressed the leadership of the enterprise "Krasnoyarsk bread". The company has long-standing financial problems, but in their opinion, they will be helped to cooperate with representatives of the American restaurant chain. In view of these reasons, Vladimir Yegorov spoke out against the agreement with foreigners.

Resumption of conversations and loud statements

In February 2015, rumors about the construction of representative offices of a large restaurant network again resumed. This news was voiced by Khamzat Khasbulatov, who is the official representative of the American company in Russia. As he said, only for last year on franchise McDonald's it has been opened about 70 new restaurants. At the same time, some of them appeared in Siberia. According to the promises of the president of McDonald's, the opening of McDonald's in Krasnoyarsk is scheduled for 2017-2018.

Time passed, and McDonald's was not built. At the end of 2016 the question was again voiced. This time, the initiator was the Novokuznetsk OOO "GuD", owned by Alexander Govor. According to him, it was possible to reach an agreement with representatives of local authorities and the network management. This time he promised to open two restaurants in Krasnoyarsk, but by the end of 2017.

To be or not to be a McDonald's?

"McDonald's" in the territory of Krasnoyarsk is still there. This news was confirmed and intractable earlier Vladimir Egorov. The businessman voiced his version, according to which the first restaurant in Krasnoyarsk will open in 2017. Encouraged by his statement, the businessman told about the long-playing plans for the future. He stated that, if the business is successful, he will open other restaurants, already outside the territory of his native city.

According to preliminary data, the company Sibiryak still signed a franchise contract. The deal took place in the summer of 2016. According to this contract, the developer's company undertakes to build three "McDonald's" in the territory of Krasnoyarsk. And although the address of future buildings has not yet been disclosed, it is known that they will be located in large areas of the city. According to preliminary information, this will be the right bank (area of the Predmostnaya square), the Soviet one, or the "Sunny" and "Central" districts. The territory of restaurants will be equipped with convenient parking. And you can get here by public and private transport.

Therefore, answering the question "Is there a McDonald's in Krasnoyarsk?", We say - no, but very soon, probably. If anything else does not interfere with the construction.
