McDonald’s Has High Hopes for Red Roofs
Oak Brook, Illinois–McDonald’s restaurants are getting a new look: red roofs.

Since the 1980s, McDonald’s roofs have typically been brown or another muted color, but now red is hot, so the company is telling owners that red is “highly recommended” for the roofs of most new or remodeled outlets. –Chicago Sun-Times
