The Golden Arches announced they were pulling out of Iceland effective next weekend. The collapse of the Icelandic Krona and McDonald's [NYSE: MCD] requirement that the Icelandic franchisee imports much of the ingredients made many of the items on the menu cost prohibitive (just over $5 for a Big Mac, apprently).
Lyst Hr., the franchise holder for McDonalds in Iceland will keep the three locations open, but they will be operating under a different name and use locally available ingredients starting in November.
