McDonald’s UK reopening April 6th? Fact Check

Messages on social media claim that Mcdonald’s UK will be reopening their stores on April 6th for both Drive Thru and takeaway orders.

FALSE

An image apparently released by McDonald’s UK claims that all stores will be reopening on April 6th 2020.

We’re opening again!
Mc Donald’s have decided to re-open all UK branches from Monday 6th april.
All branches will only be able offer Drive Thru or takeaway.
Special measures will be in place to prevent contact and maintain social distancing.

The image above is fake and did not come from McDonald’s. It is likely it originated as an April Fool’s prank. McDonald’s UK dismissed the claims after customers got in touch over social media.

Lots of people getting in touch about a certain post circulating tonight. It’s fake, we are not reopening next week and any official announcements would come from this page and would spell the brand name correctly…

Indeed. And we’d imagine any official releases from McDonald’s also wouldn’t be riddle with grammar mistakes.

It’s a hoax.
