Restaurant shuts doors for revamp
A POPULAR town centre McDonald’s restaurant will be closed for more than three weeks for refurbishment works.
Engineers arrived at the Viaduct retail park site on Hyndburn Road, Accrington on Friday, September 8.
Metal safety fences have been placed around the restaurant for “digital makeover” works to be carried out.
The restaurant is set to re-open for business at the beginning of October with customers advised to use their nearest alternative branch on Blackburn Road in Rising Bridge.
In a statement, the burger giant said: “To improve the speed and ease of ordering, customers will have the option to use one of the restaurant’s self-order kiosks.
“Table service will also be introduced to take the stress out of finding somewhere to sit when carrying food, potentially with children, bags and buggies.”
Franchisee David Duncan, said: “These changes are designed to make our customers’ experience as positive as possible - whether that’s providing people with a chance to get to grips with using a tablet in a relaxed environment, or providing parents with a quick and easy way of ordering their food. When ordering with the new kiosks customers will have the option to make different food choices, for example swapping fries for a side salad or adding a fruit bag to their children’s Happy Meal.”
