In its 16 years of presence on the Romanian market, McDonald’s has opened restaurants in free-standing locations and in malls, shunning office buildings. The opening in America House is also McDonald’s first this year.
The U.S. company, with nearly EUR100 million in turnover in 2010, invested this year in remodeling existing stores and opening new McCafe coffee shops within two McDonald’s restaurants in Bucharest. The chain currently has 63 restaurants.
America House is the largest office building in Piata Victoriei square, with a lettable area of 27,000 square meters and tenants such as Deloitte, Mastercard, Ericsson, BCR, Schlumberger, Tuca Zbarcea & Asociatii, S&T and the Japanese Embassy.
