Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing approximately $120 million in Arizona throughout 2018
and 2019 on the construction and modernization of more than 200
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 Arizona.
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
“Nearly 50 years ago, back in 1975, Arizona became home to
McDonald’s first drive-thru in the country,” Arizona Governor Doug
Ducey said. “We’ve experienced massive growth since then and our
communities and economy are thriving and we’re glad McDonald’s
and its franchisees are continuing to invest in Arizona.”
“This is an exciting time for McDonald’s and we’re proud to be
making significant investments in our neighborhoods to provide a
new experience for our guests in Arizona,” said Michelle Slayton,
McDonald’s Owner Operator. “We remain committed to supporting our
communities and are proud to support local architecture,
engineering and construction jobs across Arizona.”
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.
