Turkish kanafeh at a MADO

MADO is a Turkish ice cream and pastry brand that has about 300 outlets in Turkey and 22 other countries around the world.[1] The brand gets its name from two words: "Maraş", the former name of the city where the firm is originated; and "Dondurma", the Turkish sort of ice-cream.[2]

History[]

It was founded in 1850 by Yaşar Kanbur. The ice cream shop became a chain after 1991. It has more than 305 restaurants and cafes in Turkey and also has branches in Australia, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, South Korea, Cyprus, China, Taiwan, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Malaysia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,[3] Iraq, Greece, Georgia, Germany, Jordan and Oman.

In 2019, MADO opened its first shop in Taiwan in a joint venture with the Taiwanese conglomerate Teco Group.[4]

Controversies[]

In April 2017, a MADO shop in Bursa put a sign with the text ''Dostluk buraya kadar'' translating to ''Friendship ends here'' with a picture of a dog with a cross mark on it, the social media's response was divided with many people defending MADO because of animals being able to cause hygiene problems, and many pet food brands defending animal's rights, saying that even putting up the sign is a disgrace.[5]
