- Restaurant Brands International Inc (NYSE:QSR) owned Burger King is finding it difficult to close its joint venture in Russia, Reuters reported.
- The fast-food chain has been having a hard time exiting its partnership and about 800 franchised locations after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
- Restaurant Brands intended to dispose of its Burger King joint venture ownership stake in Russia.
- The major problem is Burger King’s joint-venture-style master franchise agreement, where it does not own any of its locations in Russia, unlike McDonald’s Corp (NYSE:MCD).
