    I doubt the accuracy of this map. I have never seen a dominos in Sweden and I’ve seen a few dunkin donuts so the map is, at least not fully accurate. Also didn’t McDonald’s shut down in Russia?

    Could you please post a source for this map?

      McDonalds in Russia, like most other companies, “shut down” in name only. All the same locations operate and sell the same burgers and fries, only the branding changed.

        Now called “Вкусно и точка”, which roughly translates as “Tasty. Period”. Already known in folklore, by striking out the middle 4 letters, as “Вкус очка” - “Taste of asshole”. Also gave birth to some of the funniest street art I’ve ever seen: Warning, as NSFW as it gets

        It’s all franchise, so McDonald’s doesn’t really own anything, and the ingredients are not flown in from america, so when they shut down officially in Russia all the franchisees just continued operating under a different brand, it’s not hard to see how that happened.

      There is only a couple of Dominos in Sweden, on the west coast. Visited one in Gothenburg a couple of years ago. Dunkin went bankrupt and left.
