McDonald's will close all of its UK stores entirely from tomorrow, it has been announced.
The fast food chain just tweeted that they have made the difficult decision to close all McDonald's restaurants in the UK and Ireland by 7pm.
This means that they will cease to operate. No Uber Eats deliveries. No collection. No Drive-Thru.
