This McDonald’s In Arizona Has The Only Teal Arches In The World & It’s A Popular Tourist Stop

It's all about aesthetics!

If you think of McDonald’s, it’s impossible not to imagine the company’s signature golden arches printed everywhere, from the restaurant’s food packaging to its walls and signage. However, there’s a city in the United States that has a Mickey D’s location where the characteristic arches are not yellow but teal instead.

The only place in the world where you’ll find the famous fast-food restaurant’s arches with a blueish color is Sedona, AZ.

These turquoise arches have become a popular tourist spot, with visitors from all over the world taking pictures right next to the well-known logo placed on a brownish wall at the eatery’s entrance.

What does the blue McDonald's mean?

It’s basically all about aesthetics and preserving the natural beauty of the area, as Sedona is famous for its stunning landscapes.

According to local TV station ABC15, the color change of the popular McDonald’s logo came after a suggestion that sought to align the restaurant’s image with Sedona’s identity, which was established by city officials in the 1990s.

Where is the only blue McDonald's in the world?

The only McDonald’s with teal arches is located in Sedona, AZ. More precisely, you can make your way to 2380 W US Hwy 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336, and you’ll be there to see the blueish arches yourself.

How many teal McDonald's are there?
