Domino’s pulls out of Russia 18 months after Ukraine invasion - eviltoast

The company that oversees the Domino’s Pizza brand in Russia said it will file for bankruptcy there, signaling a definitive end to its operations in that country nearly 18 months after President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

DP Eurasia, the franchisee for Domino’s in Europe and Asia, cited unspecified business challenges in Russia, where it operated more than 100 restaurants. The U.S.-based Dominos Pizza has said it cut off financial support for the Russian business in December 2022.

A bankruptcy filing is now forthcoming, the company said.

      I mean, to be fair, they stopped all financial support to Russia in 2022 (still took too long). This was just a pre-existing licensing agreement. I doubt they could’ve revoked it. Most people don’t think to put a “must stop operating in any country that commits war crimes” clause in their licensing deals

      Fucking vile sub-human shitbags.

      Sir, this is a pizza place that hires mostly teenagers. There are much greater evils to get sweaty about. This one isn’t it.

      Here it is. The embodiment of the example I gave (before I even saw this lmao) in my responses to the idiots down voting.

      Stop attaching morality to stupid fucking brands, people. The capitalists fucking hate you.

      You misread the article. It’s not Domino’s, it’s the franchise owner who operates Domino’s in Europe.

      The title is somewhat misleading
