On March 8, 2016, the first McDonald's restaurant will open in Kazakhstan's capital Astana. As part of an expansion plan, which involves opening 15 more restaurants in the country over the next five years, a second restaurant is expected to open in Almaty later this year.
Kazakhstan will mark the 120th country where McDonald’s restaurants are located. The restaurant will be owned and operated by local businessman Kairat Boranbayev, who is a current McDonald’s franchisee in Belarus.
The first restaurant to open in Astana will span 9,000 square feet and offer more than 200 seats. The restaurant reflects modern design elements with a full range of services unique to McDonald’s restaurants around the world, including a drive-thru and self-order kiosks. The menu will feature world-famous Big Macs, French fries and Chicken McNuggets.
