I saw a YouTube video, so judge the accuracy based on that, that all the boycotting stores are still there they just took down the signage and replaced it with genric signs and names.
All the "boycott" does is make sure Western corpos can't collect rent from Russia. Business continues as usual. Intellectual property rights are fake and gay.
This is true for brands like McDonald's and Starbucks. It's not true for most high-fashion labels, which are simply routing inventory from their Chinese stores to their Russian stores as opposed to shipping to them directly. This is true for all LVMH brands (Louis Vuitton, etc). So when the "news" says that China is buying more luxury goods than ever, they really mean Russia.

Can confirm this is how most of them are.
