Pilgrims heading to the sacred Vaishno Devi shrine have the option to grab a bite at McDonald's, which has opened two new outlets along the route, one at New Track-Tarakote Marg and the other at Ardhkuwari in Jammu. Understanding the spiritual significance of the place and local food preferences, both outlets serve a fully vegetarian menu. To respect religious sentiments, none of the items include onion or garlic. Sharing the news, Rajeev Ranjan, Managing Director of McDonald's India – North and East had earlier said, 'We're happy to bring McDonald's to Tarakote Marg and Ardhkuwari for the many pilgrims and locals who travel this path.

Ranjan also highlighted that McDonald's places a strong emphasis on quality. 'From the farm to the plate, we make sure everything meets our global food safety and quality standards. We've spent 25 years building solid partnerships with local suppliers to make that possible,' he said. What truly sets McDonald's apart is its people, who are at the core of delivering a warm, welcoming, and smooth customer experience.
