US-based fast-food chain McDonald’s has recently inaugurated its new drive-through store in Kerala, as announced by a company official on social media earlier this week.
The standalone outlet spans a 14,000 sq. ft. plot of land in the Kottayam district.
“Presenting our newest store in the state of Kerala at Kottayam. It’s a free-standing drive-thru on a pad of 14,000 sq. ft. land. Enjoy the McDonald’s experience,” said Sachin Damle, director – real estate at Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. in a LinkedIn post.
The establishment features a McCafé in addition to its drive-thru and McDelivery services.
“We are looking forward to expanding similar format stores across west and South of India,” added Damle.
