New Look For McDonald’s

Wakefield Express:

Ten new jobs have been created with a £350,000 refurbishment of a McDonald’s restaurant on Dewsbury Road in Wakefield.

The investment was made after city businesswoman Anne Wainwright took over the restaurant as franchisee last September, guiding it to a 20 per cent sales increase.

Mrs Wainwright said: “The restaurant makeover demonstrates a commitment to invest in the local community both financially and in terms of employment.”

The new jobs would provide a welcome relief during the recession after the refurbishment, which was part of a new image drive by McDonald’s, she added.
