A brand-new McDonald’s restaurant has officially opened today, Friday 11th June, in Llandudno, so far creating 25 new jobs for the local community. The new opening comes following significant investment from franchisee Phil Lowndes.
The restaurant, located at a new location within the Mostyn Champneys Retail Park, will operate with Covid-19 safety measures in place whilst offering Drive Thru, dine-in, takeaway and McDelivery services for customers.
Franchisee Phil Lowndes said:
We’re so pleased to be able to open our doors to serve the Llandudno community. A lot of hard work has gone into turning this project into a reality over the last few months and we want to thank everyone involved for their efforts. We’re looking forward to welcoming all of our customers into the restaurant.
The restaurant, which is the first double story Drive Thru McDonald’s restaurant in North Wales, and can seat up to 160 customers, was open to the public on Wednesday 9th June, but was officially opened today by the Mayor of Llandudno, Cllr Harry Saville, Janet Finch Saunders MS and Sam Rowlands MS.
Councillor Harry Saville, Mayor of Llandudno, said:
I was delighted to meet Phil and his team to help to officially open the new McDonald’s restaurant in Llandudno. It was especially good to hear about the new jobs this restaurant has created, supporting our local economy here in North Wales.
Janet Finch Saunders MS said:
I’m very pleased to have been invited along to ‘cut the ribbon’ at the new restaurant today. I wish Phil and his team all the best in this impressive McDonald’s Drive Thru double storey restaurant – the first in North Wales!
Sam Rowlands MS said:
I’m delighted to have visited McDonald’s new Llandudno restaurant, having been following developments on the Mostyn Champneys shopping park over the last couple of years. McDonald’s Llandudno restaurant is part of a local franchise, so this upgrade is very much a North Wales success story. We’ve all seen how drive thru takeaways have become more popular during the pandemic, so the new restaurant has opened at the perfect time.
The new restaurant boasts all the latest innovations from McDonald’s, focused on improving and enhancing the restaurant experience for customers. Self-service kiosks are in place so visitors can order at a speed that suits them, while easily accessing nutritional information and making informed food choices, and digital menu boards are displayed at the Drive-Thru.
The My McDonald’s App is available to use at the restaurant, allowing customers to order and pay for their meal ahead of time via Click and Serve. The app sends a notification to the kitchen as soon as customers are within 100m of the restaurant, meaning all orders are prepared fresh on arrival. The app also allows customers to save their favourite orders and customise items, as well as offering customers the chance to benefit from App offers and collect digital McCafé loyalty points.
During the COVID-19 crisis, a number of safety measures have been put in place at McDonald’s restaurants to help keep crew safe, including Perspex screens, temperature checks at the start of each shift, maintaining a 2-metre distance from others as much as possible, face coverings, regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitiser. As guidance changes, McDonald’s continues to revisit and adapt its approach, with the safety and wellbeing of our people and customers the number one priority.

Pleser oedd cael ymweld â bwyty newydd McDonalds yn Llandudno, ar ôl bod yn dilyn y datblygiadau ym mharc siopa Mostyn Champneys dros y flwyddyn neu ddwy ddiwethaf. Mae bwyty Llandudno McDonalds yn rhan o fasnachfraint leol, felly mae’r gwelliant hwn yn stori o lwyddiant yma yn y Gogledd. Mae pawb wedi gweld sut mae tecawês gyrru drwodd wedi dod yn fwy poblogaidd yn ystod y pandemig, felly mae’r bwyty newydd wedi agor ar yr adeg berffaith.
