THE NEW McDonald's in Flintshire is opening its doors tomorrow (Wednesday, June 12).
The fast-food giant's new restaurant is opening in the old Pizza Hut site on Deeside Retail Park, on Evans Way in Shotton - after its initial planned opening date of May 29 was pushed back.
Following significant investment from local Franchisee Stewart Williams, the restaurant will open for dine-in, takeaway and Click & Serve. Opening hours will be 6am until midnight each day.

The new 76 (44 inside and 32 outside) seater restaurant will create around 90 new full and part-time jobs for the local community and will feature table service, self-ordering kiosks and large outside patio area.
Stewart Williams, which now owns and operates 11 McDonald’s restaurants in Wales, said: “We are delighted to be opening another brand-new McDonald’s restaurant in Deeside and can’t wait to see local customers, both new and old, enjoy our services on offer.
"People are at the heart of our business, and we look forward to welcoming new employees with the jobs our restaurant will create. We’re committed to investing in opportunities for a mix of all ages, life stages and backgrounds, promoting flexibility and equality. It’s particularly exciting to be opening this new restaurant as McDonald’s celebrates its 50th year in the UK."

With consumers increasingly looking for greater speed, efficiency and choice when ordering their food, the restaurant has been built in-line with McDonald’s ambitious ‘Convenience of the Future’ programme. This combines a new layout with the latest technology to create a more seamless and enjoyable experience for customers.
With dedicated areas for the different ways to order, the new restaurant offers a more efficient way to order and provides customers with adequate space to enjoy their meal. The new kitchen design and dedicated courier waiting area will allow crew to better accommodate both courier and customer needs, meaning they will be able to serve more quickly, efficiently and accurately than ever before.
The restaurant features the latest innovations in sustainable building design throughout and the restaurant has been deliberately designed to retain the familiar McDonald’s look and feel.
Some of the key innovations that customers can expect to see at the Deeside Retail Park restaurant include:
- A front counter redesign which will create specific areas for different sales channels, meaning more space for customers to enjoy their meal, less congestion around touchscreens, and shorter queues.
- A dedicated courier waiting area and entrance which will allow crew to better accommodate courier needs, alongside reducing congestion in the dining area to create a more relaxing restaurant environment for customers.
- A new kitchen design which includes a bigger order assembly area and dedicated areas to prepare dine in orders, will help crew serve more quickly, efficiently, and accurately than ever before.
- Improved car park layout: will create modified traffic routes that will improve circulation around the restaurant, so it is much easier for Click & Collect customers to get their order.
- Improved break spaces and redesigned crew rooms which will create a more relaxing and comfortable space.
