Stores will reopen gradually between Tuesday June 2 and Thursday June 4.

And the stores that are set to reopen that day will be announced on social media each morning.

A “successful pilot”

The statement read: “Following a successful pilot, we can confirm that 924 drive-thru restaurants will reopen between 2nd and 4th June.”

It added that 75 new restaurants would also be added to McDelivery via Uber Eats and Just Eat.

“In order to allow for social distancing, we will have fewer employees in our kitchens and service areas,” it said.

“To help our smaller teams, we will be offering a limited menu over reduced hours,” it continued.

“No milkshakes?!” said one follower on Instagram. “Nooooo!”

Spending limit

The statement added that it’ll also enforce its current spending limit of £25.

“We continue to ask that you limit your spend to £25 and use contactless payment methods wherever possible,” it added.

“Only allowed to spend £25?!” one exclaimed.

“That’s okay,” said their pal. “I’ll drive round twice!”

McDonald’s continued: “We are delighted to be retuning to communities across the UK and Ireland, but it will look different and take a little longer. Please bear with us.”
