McDonald's has warned a Geraldine kebab store that it may take legal action after the franchise discovered that the shop had a similar logo.
A new Kebab World store that is set to open features a logo that resembles that of the popular fast-food franchise McDonald's, with the red strip and white writing — except the golden arches are upside down.
McDonald's New Zealand spokesman Simon Kenny said the company had been made aware last week that a Geraldine business was using the McDonald's golden arches without authorisation.

"Lawyers acting on behalf of McDonald's sent a letter to the business on November 22 advising the business of the actions required to avoid legal action in the High Court.
