Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing approximately $170 million in Georgia throughout 2018
and 2019 on the construction and modernization of 340 McDonald’s
restaurants, transforming the customer experience inside and
outside the restaurant. In total, McDonald’s and franchisees are
investing $6 billion to modernize most U.S. restaurants by 2020,
including most restaurants in Georgia.
With this significant construction investment, the transformed
restaurants will feature:
- Modernized dining rooms with globally and locally inspired
décor, new furniture and refreshed exterior designs
- Enhanced customer experience with digital self-order kiosks
that make ordering and paying for a meal easier. Kiosks empower
guests to browse the menu, find options and tailor their meal just
the way they want
- Remodeled counters allow for new table service that offers
guests the opportunity to relax while their food is being
made
- Bright and easy to read digital menu boards inside and at the
drive-through
- New designated parking spots for curbside pick-up through
mobile order and pay
- Expanded McCafé counters and larger display cases
“This is an exciting time for McDonald’s and we’re proud to be
investing nearly $170 million to provide a new experience, look and
feel for guests at 340 McDonald’s locations across Georgia,” said
McDonald’s Owner/Operator Vicki Chancellor. “We are also pleased
that our modernization supports local architecture, engineering and
construction jobs across the great state of Georgia.”
“As a Fortune 500 company and a worldwide leader in the food
service industry, McDonald’s already employs thousands of Georgians
across the state,” said Georgia Governor Nathan Deal. “This
modernization initiative will help to create and sustain even more
local jobs as McDonald’s works to enhance customers’ experiences
and improve opportunities for employees. By investing approximately
$170 million in 340 locations, McDonald’s will use our pro-business
climate to strengthen its economic impact in our state while
providing meaningful investments for many Georgia communities.”
In addition to the investments to modernize the restaurant,
McDonald’s has also introduced McDelivery with Uber Eats at more
than 5,000 US restaurants.
