Lahti will get its second McDonald’s restaurant in early 2023. According to entrepreneur Ari Taivalsaari, the city could accommodate a third restaurant.
A new McDonald’s fast food restaurant will open in Lahti in January-February next year.
– Fast food survived the interest rate years comfortably. Car lanes were the main factor in favour, which meant that people could move around easily.
According to Taivalsaari, Lahti is a good market for McDonald’s.
– Laune is nationally significant among the chain’s restaurants. Lahti can accommodate another chain restaurant, maybe even a third.
Taivalsaari says that a possible third fast food restaurant of the chain in Lahti is not relevant, at least not yet next year.
Job search under way
Holma’s new restaurant in Lahti employs around 60-70 employees and is currently looking for employees. Entrepreneur Ari Taivalsaari says there hasn’t been much of a labor shortage.
Full- and part-time work is available.
Last year McDonald’s was the largest hamburger chain in Finland in terms of sales.
