McDonald's ends agreement with Indian franchisee
It plans to shut all of its 169 restaurants in India's northern and eastern regions.
According to Bloomberg, McDonald’s Corp moved to terminate an agreement involving more than a third of its restaurants in India.
McDonald’s said Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt violated “certain essential obligations” of the agreement, including the payment of royalties. It has reportedly “failed to remedy the breaches, despite being provided with an opportunity to do so in accordance with the agreements.”
