Starbucks said it will continue to pay its nearly 2,000 Russian employees for six months and help them transition to new jobs.
Starbucks’ move follows McDonald’s exit from the Russian market last week. McDonald’s is selling its stores -- which are almost all owned by the company -- to an existing Russian franchisee. The stores won’t be allowed to use McDonald’s name or menu.
Starbucks entered the Russian market in 2007. In early March, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Starbucks announced that it would keep its Russian stores open but donate any profits to humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine.
