In Douglas, the remodeling process began on March 4 and ended on April 16.

Remodeling of the store included new bathrooms’ design, replacement of wall graphics and wall coverings, replacement of lights and tables, the remove mosaic tile and repaint surfaces, a total remodeling of the private party room with the addition of a wall-mounted television on the room, the removal of the center column that was at the cash registers, the creation of an entrance to the games room through the tables room, and a total repaint and new design of the exterior walls with the inclusion of new luminous signs, plus the removal of the roof’s tile to convert it into an square roof.

According to him, McDonald’s will extend its hours to be open 24 hours and remain open seven days a week, which will allow customers to eat any day, any time inside the store and not only through the drive-thru at midnight as it was usual in the past.
