Customers will be 'lovin' the new look McDonald's which has reopened in Westhoughton after a huge refurbishment.

The Pavilion Square fast-food outlet shut earlier this year after announcing plans in June for an extension.

Franchisee Gerald Thompson said the redesign, branded 'convenience of the future', was to satisfy customers' thirst for 'greater speed, efficiency and choice when ordering their food', with the revamp including a new restaurant layout with the latest technology to create a 'more seamless and enjoyable experience' for them.

Improvements have also taken in consideration staffing, creating a transformed relaxing and comfortable space for them to take a well-deserved break.

And there will be separate facilities for dine-in customers and couriers.

Gerald, who owns and operates 18 McDonald’s restaurants in Greater Manchester and Lancashire, said: “I’m proud to reinvest in our Westhoughton Pavilion Square restaurant - especially as McDonald’s celebrates its 50th anniversary in the UK this year.

"The dining area is more contemporary, and we now have separate facilities for our dine-in customers and our couriers leading to a better experience for everyone.

"It’s exciting to see the fresh new look and feel of our Westhoughton restaurant and I’m confident the changes will not only benefit our customers but also our staff as they will help make their jobs a little easier.”

While the traditional walk-in and drive thru remains core to how customers order, the redesign of McDonald’s kitchen and dining areas as part of Convenience of the Future will better serve all customers, including those who order online, or via the app.

With dedicated areas for the different ways to order, along with the removal of the front counter, the revamp will offer a more efficient way to order and will leave customers with more space to enjoy their meal.

The restaurant has also invested in fast electric vehicle charging points for convenience of customers, employees and the local community."
