It will operate with Covid-19 safety measures in place whilst offering Drive Thru, dine-in, takeaway and McDelivery services for customers.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming all of our customers into the restaurant.”

The restaurant, which is the first double story drive-thru McDonald’s restaurant in North Wales, and can seat up to 160 customers, was open to the public on Wednesday, June 9, but was officially opened on Friday by the cllr Harry Saville, mayor of Llandudno, and Janet Finch Saunders MS and Sam Rowlands MS.

Cllr Saville said: "I was delighted to meet Phil and his team to help to officially open the new McDonald’s restaurant in Llandudno. It was especially good to hear about the new jobs this restaurant has created, supporting our local economy here in North Wales.”

Mrs Saunders said: “I’m very pleased to have been invited along to ‘cut the ribbon’ at the new restaurant. I wish Phil and his team all the best in this impressive McDonald’s double storey restaurant.”

Mr Rowlands MS said: “I’m delighted to have visited McDonald’s new Llandudno restaurant, having been following developments on the Mostyn Champneys shopping park over the last couple of years.

"McDonald’s Llandudno restaurant is part of a local franchise, so this upgrade is very much a North Wales success story.

"We’ve all seen how drive thru takeaways have become more popular during the pandemic, so the new restaurant has opened at the perfect time.”

The new restaurant boasts all the latest innovations from McDonald’s, focused on improving and enhancing the restaurant experience for customers. Self-service kiosks are in place so visitors can order at a speed that suits them, while easily accessing nutritional information and making informed food choices, and digital menu boards are displayed at the Drive-Thru.

The My McDonald’s App is available to use at the restaurant, allowing customers to order and pay for their meal ahead of time via Click and Serve. The app sends a notification to the kitchen as soon as customers are within 100m of the restaurant, meaning all orders are prepared fresh on arrival.

The app also allows customers to save their favourite orders and customise items, as well as offering customers the chance to benefit from App offers and collect digital McCafé loyalty points.

During the Covid-19 crisis, a number of safety measures have been put in place at McDonald’s restaurants to help keep crew safe, including Perspex screens, temperature checks at the start of each shift, maintaining a two-metre distance from others as much as possible, face coverings, regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitiser.
