The Russian media are actively discussing the name of the well-known chain of fast food restaurants after the transition to a new owner.
According to one version, voiced by Izvestia, two Latin letters will be used as a sign - Ms, while M may remain branded.
TASS refutes this opinion, referring to the words of the CEO of McDonald's in Russia, Oleg Paroev: “The yellow letter M will not be retained in the design of the restaurant, one hundred percent. The name "Mc" is not even considered. <...> Retaining the yellow "M" is not considered, as it clearly indicates belonging to McDonald's, in fact it is the appearance of a trademark.
Oleg Paroev noted that the old signboards will be dismantled, as "a new enterprise cannot operate under the old brand."
Approximately restaurants should open in mid-June.
