McDonald's estranged partner Vikram Bakshi on Tuesday said all the 84 outlets in east and north India that were forced to shut down after discontinuation of supplies by the logistics partner will reopen by this weekend.
The outlets mostly in east India and some in north, had to shut on December 25 after Bakshi-led CPRl’s logistics partner Radhakrishna Foodland discontinued its supply services alleging reduction in volume and non-payment of certain dues, among others.
Bakshi, however, roped in new logistics vendor ColdEX to resume supply to the affected outlets. He denied the charges, saying Radhakrishna Foodland in collusion with McDonald’s India is trying to hurt the business and there is no regular payment default.
