A MCDONALD'S restaurant has reopened this morning following a two-month closure for a refurbishment.

The Star reported after the fast food venue at Cables Retail Park was closed on September 23, for the transformation. 

A spokesperson for the fast food chain said the premises was to go through a 'Convenience of the Future' refurbishment, an upgrade programme being implemented in McDonald's across the country.

The spokesperson said that the revamp "combines a new restaurant layout with the latest technology to create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for customers".

The restaurant had been expected to reopen in early November following the refurbishment.  

A McDonald's spokesperson confirmed that the premises had reopened at 11am this morning, Thursday, November 21.

Following the restaurant's temporary closure, a McDonald’s spokesperson said in September: “The pace of change within the restaurant industry is relentless, and the pandemic accelerated this with digital adoption gathering greater pace.

"Our customers rightly expect to have choice in how and where they order and collect their food, and our job is to ensure that every experience is a great one. For this to be the case, we know we also must provide our restaurant teams and delivery partners with the best possible environment to work in.

"We strongly believe we have to continue to invest to grow, and this investment not only addresses how customers are ordering now but provides us with a platform to continue to adapt in the future, whatever that innovation looks like.

"This is a particularly exciting time to be introducing these upgrades as McDonald’s celebrates its 50th year in the UK.”
