Busy Edinburgh McDonald's at shopping park re-opens after a month with new makeover

A busy Edinburgh McDonald's has re-opened with a new makeover after being closed for over a month.

The branch, at Fort Kinnaird, closed at the start of November for some "changes" and recently re-opened this week as the retail park's official social media page shared pictures of the new-look fast food store.

The interior of the store has undergone a huge transformation with a new modern seating layout and additions such as wireless chargers at some areas.

Fancy new lights have also been fitted as the front entrance was decorated with a huge white and green balloon display to celebrate their grand re-opening.

Just before the branch closed for the refurb, Edinburgh Live reported how they were forced to apologise to one diner in particular who raised concerns over the state of their kitchen.

Cameron Smith was horrified when he saw rubbish on the floor and near food preparation areas, saying he "felt sick" during his visit after a night out at 3:30am.

The tweet received a lot of attention and a McDonald's spokesperson commented: "We apologise to this customer for his experience. Hygiene and cleanliness is of the utmost importance to us and as soon as the matter was brought to our attention we were in touch with the restaurant team to investigate further."
