McDonald's drive thru in Yate to close today for 'refurbishment'

A McDonald's drive thru in South Gloucestershire is set to close today (Wednesday, May 4) as refurbishment gets underway. The drive thru in Yate is shut for three weeks to allow for works to address "traffic queues at peak times", it has confirmed.

The fast food chain at Yate Shopping Centre will shut until May 24. Yate Shopping Centre said it is "investing significant capital to improve the efficiency of the drive thru" after experiencing increased demand.

The restaurant and its delivery service will remain open while the drive thru is shut. The car park outside McDonalds and Yate Leisure Centre will also remain open.

A spokesperson from the shopping centre said: “The McDonalds drive thru at Yate Shopping Centre has proved to be extremely popular with the Yate community over the last 3 years and the increased demand has resulted in traffic queues at peak times.

"McDonalds are very committed to reducing these issues and as such are investing significant capital to improve the efficiency of the drive thru. The drive thru will be closed for 3 weeks whilst the improvement works are completed, however – the restaurant remains open along with their delivery services.”

A spokesperson for McDonald's added: “Our drive thru offering will be closed for approximately three weeks as we undertake work to improve the service for our drive thru customers. During this period, we will be open for dining in, take away, click & serve and McDelivery. We look forward to welcoming you back to a new improved McDonald's in a few weeks.”
