McDonald's Makeover: Plasma Screens and Cafe Couches
Your local McDonald's, with its hard plastic seats, was designed to move customers in and out fast. But now, with mood lighting, trendy artwork and fireplaces, it will convey a new message.
After 50 years and billions of customers, the fast-food giant is getting a face-lift.
Plasma-screen TVs, soft couches, coffee tables and wireless Internet access are just some of the new features customers will begin to see at their local McDonald's.The iconic red or brown "double mansard" rooftops — designed to catch the eye of passing motorists — will be replaced by something more sleek and modern.The traditionally kid-focused, kid-proof, interior is now decidedly grown up. There's mood lighting, trendy artwork and fireplaces.
All 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in the United States will eventually get the McMakeover, half of them by the end of this year.

Yep, I work at McDonalds and our lobby has been closed down for a few weeks while we remodel.
It's coming along REALLY nice, I love the way the new remodel looks...especially with the Flat-Screen TVs and new playland.

Our new McDonalds is sorta like that and I love it. Theres not plasma screen TV and I don't think theres wireless internet access, but its really nice. When I first saw it, I was like WOW. Now, I sit in and eat for lunch. I never thought that I would eat inside of a McDonalds. They make enough to make it nice. I might go right now.

Big mistake unless they remake their sandwiches in the style and quality of Jack in the Box or Wendy's. Cardboard buns with bland sauces and phony milk shakes are throwup. When they push the kids out with crap like couches, artwork and fireplaces, it is down the terlit, a piece of good news for us.

As long as they don't change those fatty burger; it dont think people would waste their money paying to be serve unhealthy food. They really should change or at least modify the menu so people can eat healthy....As a costumer I dont care much about the bussiness facade I worry for what they do to the food in there.

I takes more than a make-over. The quality of the food needs to come up. I used to eat there all time, but the quality went down. I now prefer Wendy's.

the decor looks nice, but until McDonald's can figure out how to make a sandwich. I dont care anymore, you got these high school dumbasses that dont know how to read a picture that tells you how to make a sandwich.

They can window dress all they want. They have lost customers and will not get them back until their food is worth eating

It's the food quality that brings customers back again and again
