The chain worked with ChangeUp agency to develop the new design, which launched at a location in Dripping Springs, Texas. The restaurant’s exterior features a sweeping roofline with warm wood tones. The building uses the brand’s signature color palette of black and white with red accents. Pictograms line the drive-thru, telling a Chinese-American story.
