Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing approximately $214 million in North Carolina
throughout 2018 and 2019 on the construction and modernization of
430 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 North
Carolina.
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-thru.
- 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 $214 Million to provide a new experience, look and
feel for guests at 430 McDonald’s locations across North Carolina,”
said McDonald’s Owner/Operator Jeff Stanton with restaurants in
North Carolina. “We are also pleased that our modernization
supports local architecture, engineering and construction jobs
across the great state of North Carolina.”
“The $23 billion hospitality industry in North Carolina is a
significant engine in our state’s vibrant economy,” said North
Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association President and CEO Lynn
Minges. “Restaurants invest in and deliver innovation and unique
customer experiences every day as vital cornerstones in their
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.
