| McDonald's with a coffee-shop look. |
McDonald's is the first fast food company that set up a major fast food store in Project 8. And I must say, they were brave enough to risk doing a business venture here. And they seem to be doing good business. They have even extended their pedestrian market reach by setting up an outlet nearer passersby who love sundaes, especially passengers getting off at the McDonald's corner from public jeeps and cabs.

Small Sundae Outlet to reach more

And they chose a strategic spot. The corner--Short Horn and Road 20--is near AMA and other smaller grade schools like Elysium, Rogerian, and Baptist Learning Center. Glendale, Village Montessori, and St. Patrick School are also possible customers. Besides, as I've said, it's a get off point from public vehicles by residents nearby and those taking tricycle rides from there. McDonald's couldn't have chosen a more apt spot in Project 8. To think that once upon a time, this corner used to be a rugged looking machine shop.
A New Look
Last year the fast food store also took on a new look, from being a kiddie food outlet to having a coffee-shop corporate look. But the kiddie features were never totally abandoned. You can still bring your kids there and enjoy the same happy ambiance. But mostly, people go there to meet for business or use the WiFi access to tinker with their iPhones or laptops.
Is the food crew efficient and friendly? Well, depends on the team shifts you chance upon. So far, I have found them generally friendly. Sometimes though, the person manning the small sundae outlet outside late at night looks haggard and barely able to force a smile. And I hope they also find a way to prevent their signage post base from being a hangout of vendors.
