McDonald’s and Franchisees Investing $448 Million in Texas To Modernize 840 Texas Restaurants in 2018 & 2019
14 August 2018 - 3:01PM
Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing $448 Million in Texas throughout 2018 and 2019 on the
construction and modernization of 840 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 Texas.
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 $448 Million to provide a new experience, look and
feel for guests at 840 McDonald’s locations across Texas,” said
Cynthia Ferguson, local McDonald’s Owner/Operator. “We are also
pleased that our modernization supports local architecture,
engineering and construction jobs across the great state of
Texas.”
“I’m proud of today’s investment by McDonald’s that will inject
nearly half a billion dollars into the Texas economy,” said
Governor Greg Abbott. “When businesses succeed, Texas succeeds, and
we will continue to create an environment that allows companies
like McDonalds and others to thrive in the Lone Star State.”
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.
