In the dispute over the 89 closed branches of Burger King there is movement.
In the dispute over the 89 closed Burger King stores in Germany apparently some movement. The parent company Burger King Europe and the franchisee Yi-Co have agreed to postpone a planned for Monday court hearing, as the law firm Graf von Westphalen, representing Yi-Ko told. An agreement was “immediately” before. Burger King confirmed the postponement.
According to the firm, the two parties met at the weekend to “intensive” negotiations. Shortly before a “possible happy ending and a positive agreement for both sides,” it makes no sense to take to court.
Burger King said this Monday that it would work on a “new ownership and management structure” for the closed branches in order to open up “as soon as possible” again. The 3,000 employees of the Yi Ko-fast-food restaurants are expected to return to their jobs again.
