These are the first the company restaurants to be reopened after the ownership of CRPL changed hands on May 9. McDonald's acquired Connaught Plaza Restaurants as the US-based major completed a settlement reached with former joint venture partner Vikram Bakshi.

The reopened restaurants would provide "more customized" hospitality, "refreshed" menu boards, merchandising and packaging, said the statement.
