Opening up on June 1, following significant investment from a local franchisee John Atherton, the restaurant is open for for dine-in, takeaway, Drive-Thru and Click & Serve.
The new restaurant has created 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.
"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.”
Some of the key innovations that McDonald’s will be rolling out through its Convenience of the Future programme include:
- Front counter redesign will create specific areas for different sales channels, meaning more space for customers to enjoy their meal, less congestion around touchscreens, and shorter queues.
- Dedicated courier waiting area and entrance: will allow crew to better accommodate courier needs, alongside reducing congestion in the dining to create a more relaxing restaurant environment for customers.
- New kitchen design: a bigger order assembly area, and dedicated areas to prepare dine in orders, will help crew serve more quickly, efficiently, and accurately than ever before.
- Improved car park layout: will create Modified traffic routes that will improve circulation around the restaurant, so it is much easier for Drive-Thru and Click & Collect customers to get their order.
- Improve break spaces: redesigned crew rooms will create a more relaxing and comfortable space for crew to take a well-deserved break.
