Opening in Kolomyia

On 29 November, KFC opened a restaurant in the city of Kolomyia in Ivano‑Frankivsk Oblast.

The city meets the criteria for network expansion

In the chain's press release, they explained that Kolomyia is included in the 2025 investment program, which envisages even expansion not only in regional centers but also in promising towns with populations of about 50–100 thousand people.

The chain notes that it also has outlets in smaller settlements; however, the vast majority of such restaurants are located in the suburbs of large cities — notably Sokilnyky, Hostomel, Vyshhorod and Sofiivska Borshchahivka.

Network, space and staff

The restaurant in Kolomyia opened in the Galeria Korzo shopping center at 30a Chornovola Avenue, near the "Pysanka" museum.

The premises cover 274 sq. m. Inside there are 76 seats, with a further 32 on the summer terrace.

As of September 2025, there were 68 KFC restaurants in Ukraine, of which 20 opened after the start of the full‑scale invasion. During 2025 franchisees opened four new outlets; two of them launched in Odesa on 22 and 28 August.

KFC estimates that each restaurant creates roughly 25 jobs, providing employment opportunities for local residents and professionals.

  • Hesburger plans to open at least ten restaurants in western Ukraine over the next five years with total investments of around €12 million.
  • In 2023 McDonald's opened its first outlet in the Carpathians — in the town of Yaremche.

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
