“When the first McDonald’s was built in Morayta in 1981, Filipinos flocked to the store and just kept coming back,” said Margot Torres, McDonald’s Philippines Vice President for Marketing. “Thirty years later, McDonald’s has grown together with its customers and to reinforce our commitment to our customers we will continue to provide value for money quality products, innovative service, and of course the best restaurant environment—seen with our new store designs.”

The four stores get a major change adapting a different design concept seen in other McDonald’s stores all over the world. The modernized spacious dining area gets comfortable which is complemented with splashed of colors and dynamic graphics inspired by architectural accents.

The new store gets a sleek design which reflects not only changing the Filipino lifestyle, but mirrors the diversity of its customers who visit the store.
