McDonald's announces a groundbreaking renovation of 30,000 restaurants worldwide, marking the first major redesign in 30 years. The iconic red roof will be replaced with a modern "iPod look," while maintaining the existing Ronald McDonald and golden arches. The revamped design will feature terra cotta colors, less plastic, and more brick and wood. Led by design firm Lippincott Mercer, the new layout introduces three zones: "linger," "grab and go," and "flexible," aimed at enhancing customer experience. Franchisees bear the cost of these renovations, leading to mixed reactions among them.
