McDonald's outlet opens in Agra

VISHAL SHARMA
AGRA, 2 JAN. McDonald’s, one of the largest fast food restaurant chains in the world with more than 30 thousand restaurants working in 119 countries, made its debut in Agra on the New Year’s Eve with the opening of its first family restaurant in the town at a local shopping mall.
Opened with a vision of en-cashing the festive crowd of the New Year, the McDonalds family restaurant is the first establishment to open its doors at the DC Nand Plaza in Sadar Bazar area of Agra, one of the over dozen shopping malls under construction in the town, which is yet to become fully-operational.
With the opening of this outlet, the number of McDonalds restaurants in North India, being managed by Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd, the Joint Venture partner of McDonalds in the Northern parts of the country, has risen to 54 and the number of restaurants in Uttar Pradesh has reached 13, making it the largest concentration of McDonalds restaurants in any state of North India outside Delhi.
Being the first McDonalds outlet to become operational in Agra added with the factor of being located in the first shopping mall to open doors in Agra and that too, on the New Year’s Eve, the outlet at DC Nand Plaza which has been designed to seat 120 people at the same time, has already begun facing space crunch with people coming in from all over Agra and the nearby towns including Etah, Hathras & Aligarh, more to “hang around” than eat at the restaurant.
Constructed with an architectural inspiration borrowed from the Heritage of Agra with contemporary warm colors and brilliant shades allow this outlet to nestle well with its surroundings.
On this occasion, Mr. Vikram Bakshi, Managing Director, Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd said that the full McDonalds range of food products including the “Happy Price Menu” and “Happy Meal” at Rs. 20/- would be available at the new outlet in Agra with the same world-class assurance of quality and freshness that had become a synonym for McDonalds.
