HACIENDA HEIGHTS, Calif., Feb.
13 /PRNewswire/ -- A local McDonald's restaurant recently
unveiled a one-of-a-kind Feng Shui-inspired design, the
nation's first. The restaurant, located at 15628 Gale Avenue,
blends classic architecture with modern Feng Shui aspects
including water elements, earth tones, red accents and exotic
fauna. The recently renovated restaurant also features San
Gabriel Valley's first McCafe, a coffee bar adjacent to the
front counter.
Feng Shui is the practice of placement and arrangement of
space to achieve harmony with the environment. The five
elements of fire, earth, wood, water and metal play an
important role in the practice of Feng Shui in that the
placement of these elements effects how energy is manifested.
The restaurant combines elements of water located on the
exterior of the dining area, symbolizing life and relaxation,
with elements of fire and red accents throughout the dining
area to symbolize good luck, laughter and light. The dining
area also features symmetrically balanced seating arrangements
in earth tone shades, pendant lights to warm up the interior,
an elevated PlayPlace and three plasma televisions. The unique
design was created using the expertise of Feng Shui Grand
Master, Dr. Chi-Jean Liu and noted Long Beach design firm, JBI
Industries, Inc.
"We chose a Feng Shui design that creates a soothing
environment for our customers to better enjoy their dining
experience," said Mark Brownstein, McDonald's owner/operator.
"We are pleased to bring this unique experience to our
customers in a one-of-a-kind Feng Shui decor while serving our
quality meals."
The recently renovated McDonald's also features McCafe,
serving coffee made from McDonald's Premium Roast Coffee. The
coffee bar adjacent to the front counter serves cappuccinos,
lattes and mochas.
In addition to consulting for corporate clients, Dr. Liu has
received various national and international awards. He has
also been featured in several local television and print media
including KNBC's "Good Day LA," Los Angeles Times, Pasadena
Star News and Orange County Register.
For four decades, JBI Industries, Inc. has been the leader in
quick service restaurant design and interiors. JBI Industries,
Inc designs and constructs restaurant interiors that create
