Only, the plan now faces a tough challenge. You see, McDonald’s Corporation (Co McD.) Asked managers Tonijack’s closing its business. Co McD outlets ToniJack’s rate which stood at 13 former McDonald’s locations owned by Bambang Rachmadi illegal.

For information Bambang Rachmadi as former Co terwaralaba McD’s has a non-Compete obligations that forced Bambang period not to open a similar business with McD for at least 18 months since the relationships ended.

Parties Bambang ToniJack’s own joint insist, demand is not based McD ToniJack’s own because it has now changed hands. Bambang has been sold to Didit Permana. “I’ve sold since 30 September last, or since the franchise rights to McD over 13 outlets,” said Bambang some time ago.

Since October 1, 2009, 13 outlets of McDonald’s former property of Bambang, who was in Sarinah, Blok M Plaza, and the Bandung Indah Plaza is already a way to maternity ToniJack’s.
