McDonald’s UK hints at customer-chosen menu for reopening

Rumour circulated branches would reopen next week

| Updated:

With restaurants including McDonald’s currently closed, Brits are asking when UK branches of the burger chain will be reopening.

McDonald’s closed all 1,350 of its branches last Monday (March 23).

However, in an email to customers, it has shed some light on what will happen when it does reopen.

Burger fans have been told to keep their eyes on the McDonald’s social media channels for some very exciting news.

It’s claimed the chain’s bosses will let customers choose what should be on the menu when branches reopen.

The email said McDonald’s will be asking customers to vote on their favourite dishes, with the most popular presumably making it onto the menu.

It said: “We’ll be looking for your help in choosing which burgers we return with when we reopen.”

The fast food chain also revealed it’s working on a new website to give families “some Happy Meal magic at home”.

A rep told the Liverpool Echo: “Since our closure, we have seen hundreds of messages from people telling us what they already miss from McDonald’s.”

They added: “We will keep in touch with our fans and followers as we start preparing our menu for reopening.”

Last night (April 1), there were rumours McDonald’s was reopening next week. However, the restaurant shot down the rumours on Facebook.

A rep said: “Lots of people getting in touch about a certain post circulating tonight. It’s fake, we are not reopening next week.”

It added: “Any official announcements would come from this page and would spell the brand name correctly…”

Followers rushed to comment on the post, with some Big Mac fans asking if McDonald’s could please restart deliveries.

“Can’t you just do deliveries?! I miss my Big Mac Sooooo much,” said one burger fan.

Another added: “Miss you sooooooo much.. Life is incomplete without you McDonald’s.”

Others seem to have already decided what they’d like to see on the menu when restaurants do reopen.

“Please say we can still get a Creme Egg McFlurry when you reopen, even if it’s later in the year,” one posted.

Others also had an idea for what song McDonald’s could play when it does eventually reopen.
