There is a McDonald’s location in Arizona that has gone viral for being different from every other McDonald’s location in the world. Can you guess what’s different about the McDonald’s in Sedona without scrolling down? If not, take a peek and be as surprised as we are!

On the inside of Sedona's McDonald's, everything looks right on target, pairing up visually with all of the other McDonald's you've perhaps visited over the years. Tile floors, customer ordering counter up front, tables, self-serve soda machines, and so on...

But the outside of this McDonald's has one glaring difference that separates it from all the other McDonald's anywhere and everywhere: turquoise arches instead of those signature McDonald's golden arches.

Perhaps given the fact that no other McDonald's in the world has been allowed to deviate from the branded and famous golden arches and swap theirs (too!) for turquoise, is a read head turner. But for whatever reason... people go wild for the turquoise McDonald's in Arizona!
The famous turquoise arches at the Sedona McDonald's have become so wildly popular that they're quickly becoming a must-visit spot for tourists from both in-state and out-of-state!
