McDonald's

But… why?

One of the most famous businesses in the world is changing its name, but only in one country.

McDonald’s confirmed to Reuters that in China, Maccy D’s will change to ‘Golden Arches Co Ltd’.

Apparently, it’s all do to with the brand selling most of its businesses throughout China and in Hong Kong.

On the official China microblog for McDonald’s, it said: “It will still be clearly ‘McDonald‘s’ when diners come to our stores.”

The change will be more apparent “a business level” so branding will remain the same.

Since it’s basically the biggest chain in the world, we’re still confused as to why it needs to change… but sure, business is business, we guess.
