The same decision was made on other markets in the region, where the group had the same franchisee, Poland’s AmRest group.
“On February 1, 2022, Burger King Europe Gmbh informed AmRest about the discontinuation, as of the same day, of the brand’s development agreements in the markets of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania,” AmRest officials said.
AmRest will continue to operate the 93 Burger King restaurants it owns in these countries, in compliance with the signed franchise agreements, which will remain in force. Thus, AmRest’s revenue, operating profit (EBITDA) and assets will not be significantly affected by this decision, the officials added.
