McDonald’s is one of the most recognized and profitable brands in the world and is the largest fast-food chain on Earth. When the global burger empire decided to give its designs a facelift, they trusted Nichiha fiber cement cladding for their exterior. They became a partner in Nichiha’s direct purchasing program and built a relationship with a dedicated McDonald’s account representative.

By utilizing Nichiha products, McDonald’s was able to create a drastic visual improvement to the exterior of their facility with a simple, cost-effective application. It gave the restaurant chain a more modern look without completely stripping the brand identity people have grown to love.

McDonald’s was able to complete its renovations without closing store locations or breaking the bank. In fact, many of the renovations were able to be completed in a single day with a full wrap in less than a week because of the ease of installation of Nichiha products. A faster turnaround makes for a quicker return on investment.

Nichiha also provides architects with consistent pricing for store locations across the country, offering the ideal situation when working on multiple projects. Nichiha is equipped to assist our restaurant partners, whether they have 1 or 100 projects to complete. Our sales, technical and customer service teams will work with you every step of the way to ensure each project is completed in a budget-friendly, scalable way.

McDonald’s loved the simplification of searching for approved products. Nichiha has such a variety of styles, they were able to purchase different exterior looks from a single manufacturer. Streamlining the efficiency of a project of this scale with a lower amount of trusted suppliers helps save on time, labor and cost.

Dunkin’ Donuts has been America’s favorite stop for coffee for over 50 years. Benefits like a dedicated account rep, in-house estimating team, in-stock RTO products, five-day lead time, and on-site technical support, led Dunkin' to choose Nichiha for their rebrand to help maintain their number one spot in customer loyalty

Nichiha helped Dunkin’ mix and match cladding to maintain their iconic orange and pink colors with a modernized twist. Nichiha’s award-winning hidden clip system creates a high-performance rain screen for superior moisture management. It is also engineered with all regions in mind, even high-velocity hurricane zones.

Nichiha’s architectural wall panels hold their color and stay clean much longer than EIFS alternatives. After a few years, competitors’ panels will need to be painted. With Nichiha, you are investing in a longer-lasting, more durable product with much lower maintenance costs in the long run.

CVS partnered with Nichiha to achieve a gorgeous wood and stone aesthetic without all the masonry-skilled labor. Prefinished panels from Nichiha eliminate the need for mortar, grout, sealant or masonry. It means one trade for all exterior finishes, no matter what design you have in mind for your brand.

CVS is in just about every state nationwide meaning their store experiences extreme climates on both ends of the spectrum. With Nichiha, products can be installed year-round, regardless of temperature and without a heat tent.

CVS currently builds around 240 new stores per year but was facing problems with cities rejecting their prototypes around 50 percent of the time. This caused challenges for their architects who had to redraw project plans, wasting time and money.

Nichiha swooped in and, because of our vast offering of finishes and textures, CVS architects were able to create several prototype specs under one manufacturer. When their first prototype was rejected by city planners, other options were easily introduced, leaving architects less frustrated and better equipped to deal with issues with less money and time wasted.
