MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th February, 2019) US restaurant chain McDonald's will raise investment in Russia by 40 percent this year, Marc Carena, the company's managing director in Russia, told reporters on Wednesday.
The fast-food giant plans to open 60 new restaurants in the country by the end of 2019 after adding 40 outlets to the chain last year.
Carena said McDonald's employed more than 50,000 people and wanted to boost that number by a tenth, creating two to three new jobs at each outlet.
