CARSON CITY, Nev., Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, McDonald’s announced that the company and its franchisees are investing approximately $53 million in Nevada throughout 2018 and 2019 on the construction and modernization of more than 90 McDonald’s restaurants, transforming the customer experience inside and outside the restaurant. In total, McDonald’s and franchisees are investing $6 billion to modernize most U.S. restaurants by 2020, including most restaurants in Nevada.

“McDonald’s has long been a dependable member of Nevada’s business community, reaching countless residents and businesses right in their own neighborhoods,” said Governor Brian Sandoval. “Today’s announcement is just one more example of the strong economic investment McDonald’s has made in Nevada to stimulate local businesses, create construction jobs and support local families. Nevada is on the move and we appreciate the confidence this announcement places in our continued economic growth.”

With this significant construction investment, the transformed restaurants will feature:  

• Modernized dining rooms with globally and locally inspired décor, new furniture and refreshed exterior designs
