MCDONALD'S has announced its drive-thrus in Widnes and Runcorn have reopened today, Thursday.
The restaurants in Moor Lane, Widnes and West Lane, Runcorn are among more than 200 to open for the first time today since lockdown.
Last week, the fast food giant said it would reopen more than 1,000 sites by June 4 as part of plans to welcome customers to all of its drive-thrus again.
On Tuesday, McDonald's reopened 168 restaurants across the UK and Ireland for drive-thru, with a further 22 restaurants serving delivery.
On Wednesday, a bumper 497 drive-thru sites opened, with 43 starting deliveries.
Rivals including Subway, Burger King, Pret A Manger, Nando's and Wagamama have recently laid out plans to rapidly open more sites as restaurant chains get to grips with the current lockdown restrictions.
McDonald's said staff will use face coverings and gloves, while Perspex screens and social distancing measures have also been introduced.
The chain said it will continue to offer a limited menu over reduced hours and will cap spending at £25.
