Islamabad, Special Report: McDonald’s, the iconic American fast-food chain, is experiencing significant challenges in Pakistan, with many branches reporting shortages of key items such as cardamom tea and other products.
Reliable sources indicate that a combination of factors, including declining public interest and import hurdles, have led to these shortages. The company spokesperson confirmed the unavailability of certain products in most restaurants, stating, “Cardamom tea and some other products are not available in most restaurants. It is not certain when such products will be available.”
The situation has frustrated customers who find their desired items unavailable upon visiting McDonald’s. The company acknowledges the inconvenience and assures customers that they are actively working to resolve the supply issues.
While no official statement has been released regarding the exact cause of the import challenges, it is widely speculated that ongoing economic instability and customs restrictions might be contributing factors. Additionally, some observers suggest that recent boycotts targeting international brands over perceived geopolitical stances could have also impacted McDonald’s sales in Pakistan.
The company remains committed to serving its customers and is hopeful that the supply chain disruptions will be resolved soon, allowing them to offer their full range of products once again.
