McDonald's is testing a 'walk-thru' for pedestrian customers

McDonald's is testing a drive-thru for customers without cars. A McDonald's in Llandudno, North Wales recently opened a drive-thru lane for pedestrian customers, reports The Sun. The test was reportedly an immediate success, leading to the restaurant making the walk-thru lane a permanent fixture. However, there is one major catch: the walk-thruis only open between the hours of 2:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. The walk-thru lane was debuted to servecustomers leavinga nearby nightclub, and, as a result, is only available to customers willing to stay out until at least 2:30 in the morning. While theLlandudno McDonald's main restaurantcloses at midnight, the location's drive-thru has a 24-hour license. Basically, thewalk-thru provides a solution to the problemof how to serve car-lesscustomers craving McDonald's after an evening of clubbing, even when sit-down service had wrapped up in Llandudno for the day.This new service makes Llandudno one of a handful of McDonald's with a pedestrian walk-up option, including alocation in Savannah, Georgia.

"Wow' the news of our walk thru is getting big," the restaurantwrote on its Facebook page last week, posting The Sun's article reporting on the news.
