Mcdonald’s has revealed plans to open all its drive-thru locations in the UK as the company seeks to further ramp up the operations.

McDonald’s UK and Ireland CEO Paul Pomroy said: “To help us test the new procedures and to slowly restart our supply chain, the pilot restaurants in the UK are all located close to our head office and to one of our distribution centres in the southeast.
“I promise I have not forgotten about any part of the UK or Ireland. We are taking our time to test the new ways of working in our restaurants, ensuring that we can continue to help our teams to work safely and to get back to the communities we have proudly served for so many years.”
McDonald’s aims to reopen all its drive-thru stores by the end of next month. Soon, the company will announce the timetable of reopening.
The fast food restaurant chain has more than 1,450 restaurants across the UK and Ireland. The company closed all location on 23 March, after the government imposed a lockdown to limit the spread of Covid-19.
