After re-opening select stores for delivery and drive-thrus across the UK recently, McDonald’s has now announced its plans to re-open over 1000 of its branches by next week.
The news was revealed on the official McDonald’s Twitter account where a statement reads: “All Drive-Thrus to reopen by 4th June.”
The fast food chain also announced it will re-open 75 restaurants for McDelivery via Uber Eats and Just Eat between 2nd – 4th June.
A spokesperson for McDonald’s said: “We can today announce that by 4th June, 1019 of our restaurants will have reopened, either for Drive Thru or McDelivery.
“This means every Drive Thru in the UK and Ireland will reopen between Tuesday and Thursday next week and we will start to expand the availability of McDelivery too.”
“This is only possible following the hard work of the teams in our 44 pilot restaurants. Over the last fortnight, our employees, franchisees and suppliers have worked tirelessly to implement new procedures to enable safe working so that we can now help all parts of the UK and Ireland to enjoy the return of the Big Mac.”
McDonald’s closed all of its UK branches back in March following the outbreak of coronavirus but recently began to re-open some of its services in certain areas.
The company is set to reveal the location of the 1000 restaurants re-opened by next week on June 2nd.
