        We all know McDonald's to be amongst the worlds largest growing chains in fast food now imagine them a competitor in the cafe dinning experience. By 2015 McDonald's is expected to have renovated each of their locations worldwide to a more sleeker, modern look. This new look is designed to invoke simplicity. 
    
         The multi-billion dollar renovation project is expected to include flat screens, half moon booths, more single person seating, a single exterior arch, and high bar tables amongst many other changes.

          According to Leah Goldman from Business Insider the exterior will be built using stone, porcelain tile or stucco and McDonald's will replace the bright red pointed roofs with flatter roofing.
         The interior design will get rid of  the classic bright reds and yellows customers are used to and feature a more muted, relaxing color scheme.
       The lighting will be more contemporary, instead of bright fluorescent, and the seating is expected to be more comfortable. 
       Lastly, the dining area will be divided into separate rooms to accommodate needs. For example still including the children's play/party room plus television and internet rooms.

  1. I think I'm going to start going to McDonalds in 2015 because honestly I've had enough of the fast-food establishments that just want to rush you out with your money intacted. They lost my business a long time ago, when I was a teenager! I think that the kind of friendly technology- driven environments are going to be our choice at hand. Back in the day colorful arches and instant service was in order, but anymore? Sandi Jones Fierce Kicks

  2. childrens play party room with television and internet? What the hell! My goodness. Their children! their never going to finish their food with the television on. Damn, I sound like my grandma. I guess McDonalds is tryig to spruse up the place for us. Right? But, I hardly go inside to enjoy the essence of cheese burgers, fries, and 10 beeping timers all going off at once. and not to forget to mention the screaming children fighting over whos going to get that last french frie. But i suppose in the near future my baby girl is going to say. Daddy, take me to Mdconalds, pleeeease. and i will have to endure the nightmear.
