Seating area at Glenrothes McDonald’s could be cut in refurbishment plans

Plans have been lodged to refurbish a McDonald’s restaurant in Glenrothes – but the seating area could be cut in size.

The fast food giant wants to modernise its drive-through outlet at Queensway Industrial Estate.

The plans include the addition of two small booths in the kitchen area to serve drive-through customers.

A new McDelivery space is also planned for home delivery services.

However, as a result of the changes, the dining area could be cut by more than 25 square metres.

The refurbishment would also extend to the toilets and staff area.

A decision will be made on the plans by Fife Council in the coming weeks.

James Patrick, franchisee of McDonald’s Glenrothes, said: “Our customers rightly expect to have choice in how and where they order and collect their food, and our job is to ensure that every experience is a great one.

“For this to be the case, we know we also must provide our restaurant teams and delivery partners with the best possible environment to work in.

“We have to continue to invest to grow, and this investment not only addresses how customers are ordering now but provides us with a platform to continue to adapt in the future, whatever that innovation looks like.”

It comes as proposals have also been submitted to rebuild the Monifieth McDonald’s restaurant, which was destroyed in a fire last year.
