Mcdonald´s leaves Iceland ! read info. Video

Due to the bad economy here in Iceland , McDonalds, is closing down next saturday .
According to the CEO of McDonalds in Iceland, this is because that the Icelandic currency is low, and they have to import everything from Germany.


The Icelandic Krona has fallen 100 % to the Us Dollar since the banking crisis last year.
So the McDonalds franchise is no more in ICeland , and instead there will still be burgers at the McDonalds location, but new name - and no Mcdonalds franchise.



The new burger place will be called - Metro .

It will only use domestic beef ,cheese and so on.



Part of the Western civil civilization , as we know it , will leave Iceland next Saturday .
But as you can see on the Video - Colonel Sanders is not far away from the McDonalds location.
KFC , will still be in Iceland , so there maybe some hope yet !



McDonalds opened in Iceland in 1993.
And Mr. David Oddson , who was CEO of the Central bank during the Banking Crisis last year, and in 1993 he was Icelands Prime minister , was the first guest and ordered the first McDonalds hamburger in ICeland .
Will he get the last burger on saturday ?
Stay tuned !

serenityintrance: it's miserable for Iceland i hope you ll be fixed

clayvessel: McDonald's is poison....they should be converted to McSNORRI'S --- which could serve delicious cajun FISH BURGERS, fresh free range lamb burgers with wild Icelandic herbs.... and new potato fries.... Tourists would come from all over the globe... and you could franchise it in AMerica.

PesiCool: I'm glad macdonals are leaving, we don't need some imported shit here, it's much better that from now on they will use Icelandic products for their food. It creates more jobs in Iceland and I would much prefer an Icelandic burger over a German one. :-)

vicmeuk: Love hearing the truth about Iceland her eon this youtube account...It keep the rest of us in touch with what is going on over there..They seem to punish the citizens for the banks mistakes...and the people are paying it back..

PositiveMusicStation: The natural food is so much better in Iceland. I'm glad to see that it's being replaced with a domestic beef burger place. I wish you the best in Iceland and hope you all do well.

y1982pisti: You are lucky there in Iceland, no more imported shit food. You must have tons of healthy local fish. And also good way to help the economy is to support local entrepreneurs, who buys from the local markets.
