However, McDonald&rsquo;s will reward the franchisees who complete their remodel by the first deadline. Those who adopt the model by 2020 will have 55% of the cost covered by the brand, while those who wait will only have 40% of the funding covered. The remodel costs range from $160,000 to about $750,000.
