Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees
are investing approximately $168 Million in Indiana throughout 2018
and 2019 on the construction and modernization of 270 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 Indiana.
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 $168 million to provide a new experience, look and
feel for guests at 270 McDonald’s locations across Indiana,” said
David Sparks, an owner/operator and president of the Greater
Indiana Operators Co-op. “We are also pleased that our
modernization supports local architecture, engineering and
construction jobs across the great state of Indiana.”
“This investment by McDonald’s will help create and sustain
local jobs not only in the restaurant industry, but also
construction and technology,” said Governor of Indiana, Eric J.
Holcomb. “We’re excited for our local franchise owners here in
Indiana—like Tracey and Reggie Jones in Indianapolis—and we’re
thrilled that McDonald’s is helping support local communities and
Hoosier Families.”
In addition to the investments to modernize the restaurant,
McDonald’s has also introduced McDelivery with Uber Eats at more
than 5,000 U.S. restaurants.
