McDonald’s pops-up its biggest ever restaurant for Olympics

Spectators at the Olympics may get inspired by the athletes’ fitness, but they’ll also have all the Big Macs and fries they’d like within reach. The chain is opening its biggest restaurant in the world in London’s Olympic Park, though it will be dismantled (and mostly recycled) after six weeks, reports the Guardian.

About 300m from the Olympic Stadium, it will displace Pushkin Square in Moscow as the world’s busiest and is expected to serve an estimated 50,000 Big Mac burgers and 180,000 portions of fries – feeding 1,200 customers an hour at its busiest – from the beginning of the Olympics to the closing of the Paralympics.

Once the Games are concluded the two-storey chalet-style building in the Olympic Park will be dismantled and 75% of it re-used or recycled.

From tables and highchairs through kitchen equipment and electric light bulbs, fittings and switches, to timber and air conditioning units, about 5,500 components have been earmarked for reuse in 1,200 existing and new McDonald’s restaurants in the UK. Other items, such as those made of plastics, will be recycled. Even the toilets in the 3,000 square metre restaurant are papered with tile-effect vinyl wallpaper to avoid the wastage of about 30 tonnes of broken tiles after the restaurant closes. The building went up in six weeks (although fitting out took considerably longer) and will take four weeks to dismantle.
