McDonald’s spent $250 million to open a new headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Fans of the fast-food company can take a visual tour of the incredible facility, even if they aren’t able to see it in person. CEO Steve Easterbrook said that the new structure is part of an effort for McDonald’s to be a “more modern and progressive burger company.”
“We were based on the edge of the city for about the last 40 something years,” Easterbrook added while speaking to CNBC. “It’s been a wonderful facility for us, but it was a little detached from everyday life.” The new headquarters features state-of-the-art workspaces and an employee exclusive McCafe that offers delicious eats and treats for workers.
A little under 50 years ago McDonald’s moved its headquarters from downtown Chicago out to the suburbs of Oak Brook, Illinois. Now, the fast food conglomerate has returned to its roots, setting up its gorgeous new facility in Chicago’s West Loop, a trendy and up-and-coming area of the city.
