Did you know that there is a McDonald's in Arizona with blue-golden arches? It's true! This unique sign stands out among the red rock landscape, steep canyons, and pine forests of Sedona, off State Route 89A. But it didn't start out this way. In fact, the city government had a say in the color change back in 1993, just a few years after Sedona became a part of Arizona in 1989.
According to Cari Meyer from the Department of Community Development, someone suggested that the traditional golden arches would be too distracting from the natural beauty of Sedona. So, they proposed changing the color to teal and lowering the sign's height. McDonald's agreed, and today, this McDonald's remains the only one in the world with blue-golden arches.
But Sedona's McDonald's isn't the only location with a unique design. In Paris and Bruges, you can find McDonald's with white arches, while California has two stores with red and black arches. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can visit the McDonald's in Budapest that turns into a club on weekends or the one in Italy that doubles as an archaeological museum with human remains on display.
Back to Sedona's McDonald's, many tourists make a stop at this location to take pictures with the iconic blue-golden arches. It has over 200 reviews on Tripadvisor, with visitors raving about the unique design and cleanliness of the restaurant. One reviewer even said it made them feel like a kid again, while another praised its location and design.
But don't worry, once you step inside, you'll find the same classic McDonald's menu and interior as any other in the US. So, if you're craving a cheeseburger or fries, just look out for the blue-golden arches in Sedona, and it will be like a bat signal calling you in for a quick bite. After all, McDonald's is a fast food lover's go-to for a reason.
