McDonald's, 5480 Forest Drive: January 2018 (open again) 7 comments
Well, here's the latest McDonald's to undergo the chain's current style makeover. This one is at East Forest Plaza, the Wal-Mart anchored strip at the Forest Drive/I-77 interchange.
In general these upgrades have been going pretty quickly, so I don't expect them to be shut for long.
I do have to say that I have found this store to be hard to get in and out of from Forest Drive. I've gotten coffee there a few times, but have kind of crossed it off my list.
(Hat tip to my sister)
UPDATE 26 January 2018 -- As mentioned in the comments this whole building has now been razed:
UPDATE 17 February 2018 -- The new building is going up:
UPDATE 8 March 2018 -- Coming along:
UPDATE 21 March 2018:
UPDATE 29 May 2018 -- As noted in the comments, this place is rebuilt, and open again:

It's about time they did something with this one. Now just have to see if anything is ever done to the old 80's style M.C. Donalds over on GF close to Walmart and Atlas Road. They really need to do something with that one for sure. Only time will tell though if it's gonna stay the same or something.

The East Pointe Plaza McDonald's Del referenced was rebuilt sometime in the 1999-01 timeframe after the one previous to it burned...

It requires a lot of fortitude for a franchisee to clear the lot and rebuild from scratch.

Today I noted that the McDonald's at 600 St. Andrews Road is closed for remodeling (which I saw coming)

This McDonald's reopened a few weeks back (but it was never noted)...

Oops! I went to the trouble to save pictures of this place open again in a new folder so, remembering that I had done something related to it, I thought I had actually updated the post!
Fixed..

Since Ted posted these pics the building has been completely torn down so they're rebuilding from the ground up...
