Opening a restaurant in Sedona, Arizona couldn’t have been more difficult for McDonald’s.
The new McDonald’s franchise which has recently been opened in this desert is not like any other regular franchise; with a turquoise blue sign instead of McDonald’s signatory yellow one accompanying the orange and red brick work,it allows the restaurant’s exterior to blend in with the picturesque view of Sedona, Arizona.
According to the franchise owner, the city’s strict regulations prevent buildings from destroying the picturesque view of the desert, which is the reason why this international fast food franchise has to use a turquoise blue McDonald’s sign instead of a bright yellow one, which according to city officials was too garish to blend in with the surroundings.
