Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing approximately $126 million in Washington State
throughout 2018 and 2019 on the construction and modernization of
more than 170 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 Washington
State.
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 $126 million to provide a new experience, look and
feel for guests at 170 McDonald’s locations across Washington
State,” said Alan Finkelstein, Washington State McDonald’s Owner
Operator. “We are also pleased that our modernization supports
local architecture, engineering and construction jobs across the
Evergreen State.”
“McDonald’s has been a leader in Washington through its
ongoing investment in restaurant construction, guest experience and
its employees,” said Pat Sullivan House Democratic Leader.
“McDonald’s is helping Washingtonians reach their potential
through flexible employment opportunities and access to tuition
assistance.”
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.
