The Campaign

We launch a more compact, urban and modern format of restaurants: ORIGINALS. Designed for a maximum space of 150m2, these restaurants cater to a more urban and mobile public. Predominantly take-away, they include interactive counters, high-tables to grab a quick lunch and the whole McDonald’s menu!

Creative Execution

ORIGINALS, it’s a specific visual identity and a new name to emphasize the continuous evolution and innovation of these new stores. ORIGINALS, it's a dedicated space of 150 sq. m, in key sectors, such as city centers, airports, trains stations, etc. Originals are designed so as to create modern, comfortable spaces to grab a quick lunch to go or to stay.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Five restaurants opened in 2015: So Ouest (Levallois-Perret), Beauvais, Boulogne, St Etienne and Toulouse… and more to come in the next few months.

The main strategy behind the launch of this new concept is to cater to a wider audience, by meeting the needs of a more urban and nomadic clientele, without depriving them of the main items on the McDonald’s menu.
