McDonald's tells customers 'we'll see you soon' after reports it's re-opening in May

McDonald’s has been forced to speak out after claims its UK restaurants would re-open by mid-May.

The fast food chain issued a statement in which it said it has no confirmed plans at this time but said they missed their customers, Birmingham Live reports.

They told people to stay at home, stay safe and said "we will see you soon".

Taking to Facebook, McDonald's offered no official date of when it plans to reopen restaurants.

The company said: "Well, our notifications are going wild tonight – we miss you too.

"We promise we will update you here as soon as we have confirmed our plans.

"Stay safe, stay at home and we will see you soon."

When a user responded asking for specific information, McDonald's said: "When we have confirmed plans, we’ll be updating restaurants and employees via Our Lounge.

"We have no confirmed plans at this time."

In a statement last month, it said: “This is not a decision we are taking lightly, but one made with the well-being and safety of our employees in mind as well as in the best interests of our customers.

“We will work with local community groups to responsibly distribute food and drink from our restaurants in the coming days.”

One drive-thru restaurant in Leicester has been changed into a spot where people can be tested for coronavirus.

The outlet, at Meridian Business Park, was handed over for use by DHU Healthcare to become the testing centre.

The fast food chain has outlined other ways it has supported the community through the pandemic.

The company has donated more than 300 tonnes of food and 100,000 litres of milk to key workers and vulnerable people through food banks, across 1,900 towns and cities in the UK.
