When and where will the new fast food restaurant open?
Forbes reports on where the next McDonald's restaurant will open.
Yes, the new establishment is planned to open near Bukovel in 2026. Such a location for the new restaurant is not accidental. It is expected that the fast food chain will attract even more attention to the resort. After all, fans of this cuisine will have another restaurant where they can go even on vacation.
Construction began on November 20, 2025. Location: Polyanytsia village, Ivano-Frankivsk region. The new McDonald's will be one-story and compact.
Interesting! This layout makes the restaurant as adaptable as possible to the needs of the resort. Visitors will be able to grab a quick bite at their favorite chain and continue their vacation according to the resort's program.
The project is being implemented by Bukovel LLC, the beneficiaries of which are the family of MP Ihor Palytsa – his son Zakhar and ex-wife Oksana.
At the same time, it is noted that “Bukovel” manages the construction within its powers and controls the process from brand creation to infrastructure solutions in the region.
In addition, the idea of building a McDonald's in Polyanytsia can be linked to the influx of tourists that has been observed there recently.
How many McDonald's restaurants are there in Ukraine?
In total, 120 fast food chains have opened in Ukraine, but 15 of them are not operating due to safety considerations.
As FaktyICTV writes, the first establishment in Ukraine opened in Kyiv on May 24, 1997. And in 2024, Ukrainian McDonald's were visited by more than 103 million people.
What is known about the work of popular businesses in Ukraine?
The MULTI COOK chain opened the most restaurants in 2025, overtaking “Galya Baluvana”. In particular, 40 openings are known abroad.
But the Zara brand may leave the country. So far, it is only about stopping work in Dnipro. The work of stores in Odessa and Kharkiv is complicated by shelling. This may be a prerequisite for the brand to leave these Ukrainian cities as well.
