- Mediterraneo10 7y agoTIL. But McDonalds in Israel is kosher, so why didn’t Burger King adopt the same policies in order to better complete with McD?
- dragonwriter 7y agoIts a franchise, not a company store; a narrower rule for franchises in Israel might mean that instead of 1 in Israel, they have 0. They make more money off 1 than 0, so... Were Burger King to actively seek to compete in Israel, they might adopt a kosher policy (and might also enforce it on franchisees, in order to protect the brand image). But since they aren't doing that, why bother with extra restrictions on who can pay them money to run a franchise?
- MagicPropmaker 7y agoNo doubt if they expand into Jerusalem they will be. They may have wanted to have a restaurant in Tel Aviv that can be open on Shabbos for non-Jewish tourists and business travelers. (Though the food is so good in Israel, I wonder why anyone would seek out a burger chain.)
- MagicPropmaker 7y agoOnly 50 out of 180 McDonalds in Israel are Kosher (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s_Israel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s_Israel )
