From zoo animals everywhere to an exterior shaped like a giant Happy Meal, the Lone Star State is no stranger to unique McDonald’s restaurants. One location in particular, however, is taking things up a notch and looking far ahead into the future. The first automated McDonald’s in Texas (and the world!) can be found just outside of Fort Worth, allowing guests to get in and out in record time thanks to the use of conveyor belts and other technological advances. This may end up being the future for fast food in Texas and the rest of America.
