McDonald's Restaurant on Regent to get new look

The McDonald's on Regent St. has been torn down but will rise again.

A company spokesperson says the new restaurant will be part of McDonald's Canada's  re-imaging program that will see more than 500 restaurants across the country showcase a more relevant and inviting atmosphere.

The new format will have appealing colours and natural materials combined with flat screen televisions, leather chairs, fireplaces and modern lighting fixtures.

The interior layout of the restaurants will be redesigned to meet the different needs of customers with specific areas such as a  high-traffic zone for people on the go, another space created specifically for families and large groups, as well as seating for customers looking to relax in a comfortable and casual setting.

For the restaurant exterior, shades of brown and grey will be complemented with materials including natural and cultured stone and brick masonry.

Inside the restaurant, wood and other natural materials will be combined with bold colours and contemporary lighting to create a modern and comfortable atmosphere.
