Renovation By late October 2007 about 6,500 of McDonald's 13,700 U.S. restaurants had been renovated. The giant golden arches were removed and replaced by a modest yellow swoosh. Landscaping was improved, and interiors given muted earth tones instead of blazing reds and yellows, while lighting was more subdued. Over sized chairs replaced molded plastic booths, and dining zones for singles, families, and business meetings were marked off in some restaurants, Many restaurants now could speed drive-through customers with two lanes instead of one. Some have wireless Internet service, digital ordering displays and plasma-screen TVs Costs for these renovations were not small. Wilson Rogers who has three restaurants in Cleveland, remodeled his large unit near downtown, with construction costs of more than $1 million.
