CHICAGO — McDonald’s has unveiled exterior and interior designs for the brand’s flagship restaurant at Clark and Ontario streets in Chicago. The former rock ‘n’ roll-themed restaurant closed in late December. The new restaurant will feature self-order kiosks, table service and mobile order and payment. The nearly 19,000-square-foot restaurant, designed by Chicago-based Ross Barney Architects, will be constructed of steel and wood timber. The restaurant will feature green spaces and energy-saving features in efforts to become LEED certified. The redesigned restaurant is slated to reopen this spring. McDonald’s is also in the process of moving its headquarters to Chicago from Oak Brook, Ill.
