"The future is here for McDonald’s as the fast-food giant today in Chicago unveiled a shiny new 19,000-square-foot restaurant enclosed by 27-foot windows and trees popping out from the roof. The restaurant, in the city’s River North neighborhood, replaces the Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s. It opens on Thursday morning at 600 N. Clark Street." - Ashok Selvam
"While the main dining room remains under construction, the drive-thru for McDonald’s replacement for its iconic Rock ‘n’ Roll location opened on Thursday in River North. A McDonald’s spokesperson confirmed the opening as signs have gone up at Clark and Ontario. The drive-thru is part of a futuristic new design — complete with plenty of trees and solar panels — McDonald’s is trying out in River North. Demolition crews razed the Rock ‘n’ Roll-themed fast-food restaurant earlier this year after 12 years at 600 N. Clark Street. The original Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s debuted in 1983 and gave way to the most current incarnation in 2005. A McDonald’s spokesperson said they’ll reveal more information on the restaurant soon as an opening date for the dining room is imminent. A media event’s planned for as early as next week." - Ashok Selvam
"A 19,000-square-foot eco-friendly McDonald’s will open in Chicago in late spring, replacing the demolished Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s in River North. The futuristic, one-story fast-food restaurant is a mixture of glass and steel, featuring apple trees that will stick out of the restaurant’s roof. The restaurant will be part of McDonald’s “Experience of the Future” campaign, integrating touchscreen kiosks, table service, mobile app enhancements, and energy-efficient technologies. It aims to be LEED certified and friendly to Uber Eats delivery, mobile ordering, and curbside pickups, with a plaza surrounded by 70 trees." - Ashok Selvam
