Students are conducting a survey to determine what decor the new McDonald's restaurant will have.
Nanette Bittler of Bend, the owner of the franchise, wants Sisters residents to vote for one of three themes, being contemplated for the interior of the restaurant.
The exterior of the building must meet Sisters’ Western architectural theme requirements.
The three themes are: Rodeo; 1800s Western and a railroad/logging theme.
“We really want to create a sense of ownership so that the McDonald’s here in Sisters really reflects what Sisters wants,” Bittler said.
The Sisters High School Leadership class is spearheading the public survey effort. Students at Sisters High School will vote and the leadership students are also heading out into the community to gather votes.
They will set up visual depictions of the three themes, including samples of materials to be used, at Ray’s Food Place this weekend. The displays will remain in the lobby at Sisters High School during the following week.
There will be a drop box at the school where community members can leave their vote.
The deadline for voting is Wednesday, April 13. Bittler intends to begin immediately on architectural work.
