The new McDonald’s was granted planning permission by Chorley Council in November 2024, on the site of the former Beaumont pub which closed in 2023.

The restaurant and drive-thru will open from 6am to midnight, seven days a week.

It was a party-like atmosphere inside the new restaurant as staff greeted their first customers, including 92-year-old local resident Bill.

Posting on Facebook, the restaurant said: “One of our very first customers through the doors this morning was 92-year-old Bill!

“He told us how happy he was to see the restaurant open, especially as he lives just down the road and now has somewhere nearby to enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat.”
