US fast-food firm to open more than 200 restaurants as part of £1bn plan that will focus on high street locations
McDonald’s is to open more than 200 restaurants across the UK and Ireland over the next four years, creating about 24,000 new jobs as it steps up expansion amid a rise in demand for takeaways.
The plan marks the US company’s largest expansion programme in the UK for more than 20 years and is backed by a £1bn investment by the fast food chain and its franchisees with a focus on high street locations.
