The story

The first Teremok opened in 1998 in a street kiosk in Moscow. It offered a limited set of blinis, and it was one of the first fast food chains in Russia that were offering Russian food, trying to compete with McDonald's. There are currently three types of Teremok outlets: restaurants, street kiosks, and food court outlets in shopping malls, metro stations or airports.

The chain opened two branches in Union Square and Chelsea in New York City in 2017, their first ventures outside of Russia. In an interview with a Russian magazine, Goncharov said his reason for expanding to America was because "it’s the motherland of fast food." In June 2018, Goncharov announced it was closing his two restaurants in the States, accusing New York City inspectors of "open hostility" towards his restaurants and staff.
