McDonald’s plans to open 11 restaurants in Ukraine in 2026, according to Vitaliy Stefurak, McDonald’s development director in Ukraine.
“Next year, we plan to open at least 11 restaurants. And in 2027-28, we expect to accelerate the development of the chain to 15 new establishments per year. We see prospects for development in Ukraine, so we are working to gradually increase investment,” he told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
According to Stefurak, nine openings were planned for 2025, but the plan was adjusted. De facto, in 2025, the chain will expand by 11 new establishments, and three new and one renovated restaurants will be opened by the end of the year. Last year, UAH 1.8 billion was invested in the development and renovation of the chain, and this year, about UAH 2 billion.
In 2025, the company achieved its goal by opening restaurants in the Zakarpattia region, the last region where McDonald’s had not previously been represented. As for future locations, according to the development director, the focus will be on increasing the number of restaurants in cities where the chain is already present.
“Our priority areas for development are Kyiv, cities with a population of over one million, regional centers and their satellites (provided there is sufficient traffic), as well as locations on popular highways. Today, we are concentrating on central and western Ukraine,” he said.
He named popular tourist locations as one of the promising areas (at the end of 2023, the chain opened a restaurant in Yaremche). “We will have the final decisions on the development plan for 2026 at the beginning of the year, but I will lift the veil a little: yes, next year there may be new establishments in tourist centers in western Ukraine,” Stefurak said.
