Celestial imaging can be seen on staff uniforms as well as futuristic kiosks where customers can conveniently place their orders, complete with cashless payment devices before picking up their selection at a counter.
And for those in a hurry, there’s also a drive-thru experience.
In addition to more filling fan favorites like M&M’s McFlurries, customers will also be able to purchase snack options such as egg McMuffin sandwiches, spicy queso sandwiches, McPops (which can be compared to filled donut holes) and pretzel bites.
CosMc’s has two new restaurants opening in Texas. The Watauga location will open on April 2 and the Arlington one will start serving on April 8 — perfectly timed to align with arare solar eclipse.
The next total solar eclipse (when the Sun, the Moon, and Earth line up) will not occur for another 20 years.
NASA previously released a mapthat highlights which cities will experience the solar eclipse on April 8 — including some in Texas.
CosMc’s isn’t the only McDonald’s revamp as of late. In February, the brand’sfamous golden arches were temporarily turned upside downto form a “W” for manga-inspired packaging in over 30 global markets.
