It's believed that the Dutchess County location is undergoing a major makeover. Renovations are designed to update the restaurant's look, bringing it up to modern standards similar to other upgraded locations.

McDonald's is rapidly renovating and rebuilding across the country. This includes focusing on modern, sleek designs with dual drive-thrus, updated kitchens, and self-ordering kiosks.

The chain is revamping approximately 27,000 drive-thru locations.

McDonald's says these nationwide changes are meant to "optimize" the customer experience. Changes include how customers order their meals, make payments, receive their food, and enhance the overall dining experience.

Self-Serve Removal

McDonald's is also phasing out self-serve soda stations at locations across the country. Recently, the fast-food giant confirmed plans to eliminate self-serve soda and beverage stations in dining rooms across the nation by 2032.

Some locations have already begun to remove self-serve beverage stations. At these locations, McDonald's staff will now handle all drink orders and refills.

These changes come as McDonald's has seen a huge surge in sales via the app, drive-thru, and delivery services.
