New Look for McDonald's as Pacific Building create Scotland's first Purely, Simply Purple Restaurant…

Following an investment in the redevelopment of their existing Drive Thru outlets, McDonald’s continue to work closely with Pacific Building to develop their restaurant portfolio, and roll out a design revolution with their “Purely, Simply Purple” concept.

Purely, Simply Purple is the newest design from McDonald's Paris based European Restaurant Development & Design Studio, who know that McDonald's restaurants are often a customer’s first encounter with the brand and want to ensure that the décor is well matched with customer expectations.

Pacific Building were tasked with the complete works for Airdrie's Drive Thru restaurant, which is the first McDonald's in Scotland to feature the Purely, Simply Purple design.

The refurbishment involved the strip out of the existing unit, in addition to upgrading all of the external areas. To minimise disruption to trade, and to allow the restaurant to remain open for business throughout the refurbishment, Pacific Building developed a phasing and shift pattern system to ensure works were completed on time, within budget, and to the impeccable standard that you would expect to be set by one of the biggest brands in the world.

The Purple designs have been given very positive feedback, and as a result plans are in place to continue with the roll out of the design. To date, this is the 14th project Pacific Building have completed while working with McDonald's new designs, with a further 8 restaurants due for completion by December and at least 20 planned for 2010.

Brian Gallacher, Pacific Building Managing Director, commented:
“We’re delighted to continue our relationship with McDonald's through the redevelopment of their Drive Thru restaurants. Our experience of working in live environments ensured that we were able to carry out all works at Airdrie, not only without disruption to McDonald's team, customers and trading, but to the very highest standards.”
