A Unique McDonald’s in Sedona
If you ever visit Sedona, Arizona, you’ll spot something unusual—a McDonald’s with turquoise arches instead of the iconic golden ones. “Unlike the typical golden arches that symbolize the fast-food giant, the McDonald’s in Sedona stands out with its captivating turquoise arches.”
Why the Color Change?
Sedona is known for its stunning red rock formations, and the city has strict architectural guidelines to preserve its natural beauty. When McDonald’s planned to open a location in 1993, “city officials feared that the bright yellow color would clash horribly with the vivid red rocks.”
The Perfect Solution
After discussions between McDonald’s and city officials, a creative compromise was reached. “Turquoise… not only complemented the red rock landscape but also added a touch of uniqueness.” The color change reflected Sedona’s strong commitment to maintaining harmony with the environment.
A Local Landmark
The turquoise arches quickly became a hit. “Visitors from all around the world were captivated by the harmonious blend of colors.” Today, this one-of-a-kind McDonald’s stands as a beloved local landmark and a symbol of design that respects nature.
