A new McDonald’s restaurant will open tomorrow (June 1) creating 80 jobs after several delays on the restaurant.

The newest addition from the fast food giant will open for dine-in, takeaway, Drive-Thru and Click & Serve in Thirsk, just off the A19. 

Following significant investment from a local franchisee John Atherton, the opening hours will be 24 hours, seven days a week.  

The new restaurant will create around 80 new full and part-time jobs for the local community and will feature table service, self-ordering kiosks, a large outside patio area and a drive thru with Smart Digital Drive-Thru menu boards.

John Atherton, who now owns and operates eight McDonald’s restaurants in North Yorkshire, said: “We are delighted to be opening another brand-new McDonald’s restaurant in Thirsk and can’t wait to see local customers, both new and old, enjoy our services on offer.

"People are at the heart of our business, and we look forward to welcoming new employees with the jobs our restaurant will create.

"We’re committed to investing in opportunities for a mix of all ages, life stages and backgrounds, promoting flexibility and equality.”
