McDonald’s Pulls Out of Sri Lanka: Closes All 12 Stores Following Contract Termination

Daniel Kim Views  

A lawyer for McDonald’s Sri Lanka announced on the 24th (local time) that McDonald’s has terminated its contract with its regional partner in Sri Lanka and has closed all 12 of its stores in the country.

Sanath Wijewardane, a spokesperson for McDonald’s, said, “McDonald’s has decided to terminate its contract with the franchisee due to standard issues,” and added, “McDonald’s may not be doing business in Sri Lanka, but it could return with a new franchisee.”

He also mentioned that while the deal was canceled on Wednesday, the stores continued to operate for several days.

According to local media, McDonald’s has filed a lawsuit against Avans due to hygiene issues.

In response, a spokesperson for the local partner, Avans, declined to comment.

As stated on their website, Avans first partnered with McDonald’s in 1998.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka, an Indian Ocean island nation of 22 million people, is currently recovering from a major financial crisis.
